  Hard drive surface scan failed. Is it dead?

  The journal was failing to write to disk (saw that in Console), and so I ran Tech Tools on it. The surface scan failed. I then used Disk Utility to clear the drive and re-ran Tech Tools. Same error. I then called Apple Support but all they seem to be able to tell me is to run Disk Utility, and if it says the drive is okay, re-install the OS. That really makes no sense to me. I assume Disk Utility is checking the volume at a higher level (it’s definitely not doing a surface scan), so I don’t see how its results are necessarily relevant. Reinstalling the OS doesn’t seem wise to me. Should I just shut up and do what Apple Support tells me to do?

  Hard drive surface scan failed. Is it dead?

  Just to expand a little bit, I’d like to have as little downtime as possible, so although I appreciate answers like “take it to Apple tech support”, I’d like to see if there’s anything I can do first, especially if the problem isn’t serious.

  Why does Whole Foods hire only waify affeminate granola guys as checkers?

  Yes of course. I am living proof, as I have character flaws, as probably many people do, like those uncreative people who can't think of anything but your spellining to criticize.
