It's The End Of My Hard Drive As I Know It and I Feel Fine or Why I'm Running Tiger on Snow Leopard Weekend.
August 29th, 2009 So, I had some disturbing news this weekend, my MacBook Pro, Zen, had his hard drive die on me and unlike most folks who have had a drive crash, I'm not panicked, once I figure out how I am going to work over the next few days until Apple can replace the drive I've been doing what I need to get an old machine up and running.
What Happened
So I was doing general decrufting to prepare for the snow leopard upgrade things started feeling wanky. Emptying caches took longer then it should've. Repairing permissions and scanning the disk were throwing errors.
