OK, so I booted up from my external drive. It took some figuring out because I've never done it before, but I know that I got to the external drive because once it loaded up, there was stuff I had already erased from my email and websites I had already removed from my tabs from my HD.
It took awhile to load up which I guess is normal?
It started out a little slow and I got the beach ball, but after awhile, it started running normally. Way better than the actual hard drive.
Does that mean the hard drive has a problem since the external drive seems fine? A problem that means it probably need replacing?
Thanks.
Rita
