I bought a black MacBook in March this year (switching from Windows) and generally I have been very happy with it. Now, I am getting weird screen freezes occasionally that seem to be symptoms of a hard drive failure. These freezes tend to require holding the power button until the computer switches off, then I reboot and everything is okay until the next freeze. When booting I occasionally wait for up to 30 minutes at the gray Apple screen before forcing the computer to switch off and reboot it, where it goes back to normal.
At the moment, my MacBook is running fsck in single-user mode; I'm trying to see whether this is a software issue or a hardware issue. So far my laptop is reporting numerous errors, including:
Should I be worried about the data on my drive?
Thanks

- Overlapped extent allocation
- Invalid leaf record count
- Volume Bit Map nees minor repair
- Invalid volume free block count
- Missing thread record
- Missing directory record
Should I be worried about the data on my drive?
Thanks
