I've worked on the machine using the firewire backup HD, and I haven't 
had any problem.
This would suggest the problem is the internal HD (this morning it 
crashed twice).

And now is the next question:
I've a deadline next week and I cannot afford to send it for repair, do 
you think it is better to use the internal HD (with a daily backup), or 
to work boting from the external HD all the time?

Thanks,
