Yep, Nova’s hard drive is hosed. I ran Disk Utility on it earlier today and it told me everything was fine, but that didn’t last. Apple’s SMART Diagnostic said “Failing,” and I can believe it—odd clicks and whirrs, slowness, general badness.
I did manage to rescue and CD-burn my data, so I can manage to be zen about the whole thing. Nova was a good little trooper, not breaking down until I had all my stuff.
It’s going to get fixed, but in the meantime, I’m using the Silver Surfer or whining at David to let me borrow his iMac. (Yep. I’m spoiled as a spoiled thing, no question about it.)
