Two years? It should be all right, but who knows? You're right: repair
should have picked up on that, depending upon the experience of the tech
person you spoke with over the phone. I've replaced dozens of hard drives.
As I said, when I read what you were experiencing, that's what came to mind
first.
Oh, well, someone else here in this forum may offer the solution. For your
sake, I hope they do. (Though I'd be interested to know the results of your
reinstall, if that is the ultimate route you're forced to take.)
Good luck, and I wish you well,
mE

2 years. Could be, but I would think repair would pick up something.
