MBP 2009 HD dead-ish - what to do next?
So, apparently, the hard drive in my MacBook Pro mid-2009 is close to death.
I had trouble with him the other night and after reboot, I got a kernel panic, basically "cannot find driver for ACPI platform." You can see the full screen tohttp://i.imgur.com/DHFg9PUh.jpg
I tried to go in recovery mode and using the disc to check/repair utility to see what would happen. I forget exactly what happened when I ran first, but now I got a message that it is not repairable. Screen example here:http://i.imgur.com/O57e6NBh.jpg
At one point when I booted into single user mode (or was it the verbose mode?) I got ' WARNING SATA: enable auto service has failed. Generally run fsck didn't have good results. This is the screen the last time I did it in single user mode: http://i.imgur.com/C6S2gCph.jpg
When I try to start it in safe mode finally gets about 1/5 of the way through the progress bar and then stops.
This disc is about 6 years old and has been widely used (and doesn't have a lot of space on this issue rest, I know..) so I'm not surprised, he's in trouble.
I'm confused but I have my next steps should be.
-Something like Disk Warrior conceivable would be able to repair any corruption or other issues?
-I am able to use the feature to reinstall OS X utility recovery section to install a new copy of the Mavericks? Which would be just a waste of time even if I can do it?
-I don't have access to other Mac and don't have the original 10.6 install DVD. I have to install 10.6, 10.6.8 and then re - update download Mavericks (or more)?
-I realize that the current content on the disc may be roasted. I have a time machine backup of a few months ago.
-I currently have no bootable external drive/device.
-J' was going to ask if there are files that I can change so that I get an error in single user mode that can help, but when I try to mount the drive:http://i.imgur.com/U2QIhPul.jpg
-Ideally, I'll replace this dead-ish with a ssd drive, even if I even rolled my head around exactly what kind I need. (i.e. do most ship with the spacer? How I format once installed and put on the operating system as I think I can't use internet recovery? Would be something like the MX200 crucial work of 500GB 2.5 ssd "in this machine? "I have the screwdriver for the rear screws and also a T6 for the reader).
More precisely, it is a MBP 13.3 "2.53 Ghz, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB HD - MB991LL/A
Thank you. sad face.
Install a new drive. The Crucial SSD will be compatible.
You will need to install the original OSX and then switch to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Will then allow you to install a more recent OSX.
Ciao.

After realizing that my original on the G56 - 118 CA hard drive died, I bought a new 'Seagate' Momentus 320 G SATA 16 MB 7200 RPM drive. However, after swapping, install the new disk and using the recovery disk, I create the purchase of the computer... still does not work. What is my next step...

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum. The first thing I would suggest running a virus scan. Make sure you have no virus causing problems. If you do not have an antivirus program, then you can download it free here: http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/If there is no virus or it still does not work after virus cleaning, then start in safe mode and test from there. Here are the instructions for Safe Mode.
