Ya', I guess sort of like that! Here the words from Apple……...

Apple has determined that certain 1TB Seagate hard drives used in 21.5-inchand 27-inch iMac systems may fail. These systems were sold between October 2009 and July 2011. Our records show that you have an iMac with an affected 1TB Seagate hard drive. Apple will replace your hard drive with a new one, free of charge, under the .

Ahh this is a recall.. I thought this was an OS message alerting to a predictive failure.

Yeah, they probably want for a week as they have many, many to do. This is likely a pretty big recall.

That said, you should be able to schedule with the Genius Bar staff if you have apple care.

The dude I talked to on the floor at the Apple store at Market Mall wasn't very consumer oriented.

Is it hard to re-partition an external hard drive? Or should I just buy a new one and start over? It is 1 terra-byte if I remember correctly and it is not the Apple one but bought at the Apple Store.
