By the grace of Bit Torrent I was able to acquire a copy of leopard to reinstall OS X. I am *VERY* skeptical that this error is strictly a hard drive failure error. I'm running 100% normal again with all my programs, settings, and files intact by just doing a basic reinstall.

It happened this morning when I opened itunes and the laptop slowed to a grinding halt. I did a hard reboot and it has never rebooted again into OS X. Performed all the "fixes" mentioned here to no avail. I highly doubt this is a hardware (read: bad hard drive) issue for me. My Vista partition on the same laptop works perfectly, no errors, no problems. To the people that are complaining of having replaced multiple HD's: Are you doing backup restores onto these new HDs? If this were a software issue, wouldn't that explain the repetitive "bad HDs"? Worst part is that I'm stuck in Peru for another month without my discs, spare hardware, and more importantly...an apple store. I just got this on my macbook today (it’s less than 11mo old).

This is the third time I've had this problem and solved it with a new hard drive. I'm not convinced that this is merely a hard drive issue, if 3 hard drives failed from the same computer...clearly there is something else wrong.

Its now also on my parallels harddrive so i can throw that one away now. Its just a matter of time some important system file will also fail.

The UNDEFINED error suggests a physical problem on your hard drive -- bad sectors, namely -- and you are simply removing one file over where some of the bad sectors are. Make sure you back up because the problem is going to come back and only get worse until you replace the drive. To Jeremy Dickens: you are putting a bandaid on a festering wound.

After I found this page, I was certain I was looking at a toasted HD. After a few reboots in the troubleshooting process, I finally noticed that the error only occurred when I had Safari open. After systematically moving Safari support files around, I finally fixed the problem by deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.safari/Cache.db - odd, but I've not received this error since this file was rebuilt!

My hard drive just crashed yesterday and when I took the computer to Apple to see if they would fix it, they said they were unable to because there is a small grey splotch in the bottom left hand corner so they suspect water damage. 3 months ago, two drops of water got on the upper right hand corner of the screen and caused this splotch. Apple is saying that if I give it to them I will have to pay $755 flat rate to get a new LCD screen, new logic board and new hard drive. From what I hear from you guys, the hard drive problem keeps happening over and over for some people. Should I spend the $755 now or even get a new computer and renew my warranty or should I just purchase and install another hard drive myself and hope that it doesn't happen again? I would think that if it does keep happening, it could become a very expensive problem. I just need a little advice, thanks! Help!
