[X4U] OS quits

[melnyk at msu.edu]

Been there! Run a hardware test on the hard drive using a package like  
TechTools.  I suspect that your hard disk is failing and that you will  
have to replace it soon. If you can, get a backup hard disk  
(internal), do a superduper or clone carbon copier on it (prefer CCC  
myself) when you get the hard disk running.  When the hard disk quits  
again, simply swap out.  BTW, before cloning the harddisk, do a  
permission repair (using disk utility) and a check sectors (can be  
done through techtools) just to make sure that your hard disk and its  
volume structure are okay.

Wish you luck.
