Hello,
Two weeks ago my internal HD started to make that knocking noise. So I replaced the HD with a new one. But I still wasn't able to install a new OS, the installation simple stopped. Same with the Timemashine backup restoration. I checked the new HD and it gave me a S.M.A.R.T. failing error again... when I scanned the new HD it gave me bad blocks. So I thought, damn, bad luck... you bought another faulty HD. So I tried another HD and I still get the S.M.A.R.T. error. So my question: how can I find out the real issue that causes the S.M.A.R.T. error? Is it the hd controler or simple a connector? Is it possible that that problem causes bad blocks? I don't want to spend much money on support, so if there is any hardware pro out there who can guide me into the right direction I would be more than happy!
Thx
