If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T.
After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.
Did you do this:īoot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. I'm unclear what you did after re-reading your original post. All indications were that my hard drive is OK.

I did download an app called SMARTReporter and ran that. Saw that mentioned several times in posts but it doesn't appear on my version. One other thing.never could locate the S.M.A.R.T. If it doesn't work I'll look into getting an upgrade. Obviously the most recent version would be ideal but will this one at least run for me? If it will I think I'll give it a shot. However, I popped it into my work iMac, which is running the same OS as my problem iMac at home, and it looks as though it may work. Will it work with Snow Leopard? I popped the disk into a Mac running Lion and it had the slash through the icon, indicating that it isn't compatible. Here at the office we have a very old version (3.0.3). Next on my list, before going so far as reformatting/restoring (I use Time Machine to back up my system onto a 500 GB external hard drive) I want to run Disk Warrior. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.

Then I tried running it off my Snow Leopard install disk and got the message:ĭisk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD" Disk Utility can't repair this disk. When I ran it off the hard drive it went through the process with no real error messages (found a few "damaged files" and put them in folder named the same). I did some searching on this forum and have tried some suggestions offerred to people with similar problems, such as running Disk Utility. Very, very slow to login, hangs up during normal use, slows to a crawl, etc. I'm having major problems with my iMac (2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/2 GB 66 MHz DDR2 SDRAM/running OSX version 10.6.8).
