Hi all, So, here's the status of my Mac Mini's hard drive. * Two repairs from the Recovery HD resulted in an error telling me to format ad re-install. * I did just that at the end of March, and given that two repairs couldn't fix whatever errors have accumulated after three months, it seems like the drive itself is having problems. * The SMART status of the drive is "verified", not "failing", which seems odd given the previous points. * The drive is partitioned into two: 450gb for OS X, and 50gb for OS X betas. I don't yet know if the beta partition works, but both share a drive so I'm not optimistic.
Any ideas? I looked at replacing the drive, but the iFixIt instructions are scary and require special tools. The Mini is not under Apple Care protection, and my nearest Genius bar is almost three hours away. Am I just doomed, or is there a check/repair/miracle program I could run? Any suggestions are appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
