It could also be starting to fail. I replaced the one in my old macbook twice. I'm not sure why but they don't seem to last very well compared to other laptop drives. They use slim drives which are expensive and replacing them is a pain as you have to take the entire machine apart. /grumble Matt. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
