Bigger problems now- HD giving out?
#1
Ok, after the problems outlined here:
http://forums.macresource.com/read/1/549235

I enjoyed a few hours of beachball free operation and then I started having problems again. Once again, I booted off the Tiger install CD, repaired permissions and verified and repaired my disk (no problems found in either case).

I was getting nervous and wanted to do a backup (last one was done Wednesday of this week). Backup failed and I sent the report to Super Duper who advised me there was something bad with the Mozilla cache- sitting on a bad sector of my drive.

I tossed the cache, reran permissions and disk repair using the Tiger CD as the boot volume, once again, no problems found.

Is my HD dying? Anything else I should try? I'm getting nervous here. I can dump everything from the laptop onto the QS I have sitting around so if the backup fails I do have another option. Should I do that now?

TIA-
DM
