What o/s are you running? On OSX open hardrive, open utilities and run disk utilities. (run repair disc permissions.) |

Not sure if this happens to MACs but when my hard drive was dying, it kept restarting whenever it felt like it. |

Your first problem is there Macs, second problem is you havent gotten rid of em. In all seriousness, try reformating the hard drive on the one that slowed down. After u reformat it basicly delete anything u dont need. It works for my comp. The other one may shut off cause of a power problem, maybe the cord is lose somewere or something?

After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Click repair permissions |
