Hi again, everyone,

 

I have a colleague whose MacBook started to play up. Having done a backup,
he erased and installed 10.5 again and has carried out full updates.
However, since then Spotlight was continuously indexing the drive and it
became virtually unusable. He found a method using Terminal to stop
Spotlight. Everything speeded up and was working fine. He plugged in a
memory stick and the indexing started again.

 

Does anyone know if it could be a bad sector (when he erased the drive he
wrote '0's but it didn't fall over) or something software?

 

Suggestions, as always, will be welcome.

 

Many thanks,

John
