Crashes on Mac Book Pro [Solved -- Bad Drive]

<< < (3/3)

baldo:
btw the ETA on the chkdsk for the drive is about 11 hours!!!

baldo:
So it seems that 11 hours went faster than I thought!!!!

However, there were some bad clusters detected.  The message was also that there is not enough space to replace the bad clusters.  So does that mean the disk is bad and that I should buy a new disk?  Or can I get away with repairing?

The safest things to do would be to buy a new disk.  (I am SOOO glad that I have my music files stored in triplicate on separate drives!!!)

FYI, the mac seems to be working fine so far today with the other drive.

Awesome Donkey:
Honestly if you're having issues with bad sectors you should probably replace the drive, yeah. How old is the drive?

baldo:
The drive is less than 4 months old. I've ordered another one so lets see how that goes. It is a shame though that this has lasted for not very long at all.
