Open error 5: "Input/output error" on System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/test/test_ossaudiodev.pyo
I've run disk utility 3 times now.. this is the first time I've gotten this message... now there are about 15 "open error 5" messages... Every time I run it-- i get more and more. Something tells me I'm going to be replacing the hard drive in this within the next couple of days...
