But, given the recent discussions on failing hard drives, I couldn't help<br>
but remember my wife's recent PAIN -- the HD in her Mac laptop died and<br>
that's when she discovered that her backup drive had died a week or so<br>
earlier. (She hadn't understood the error messages she was getting.)<br>
Two new hard drives later she is trying to recover what she can.<br>
<br>
So this afternoon I checked and the command <smartctl> is not on her<br>
machine. Is it available? If so, what is the download/install procedure?<br>
