I'm getting random problems like sometimes Mail doesn't close without a forced termination, Preview can't open and keeps bouncing for an extended period of time, the computer will hang up, etc.
I think I'm having trouble with my external HDD that I use for Time Machine and so I can't rule that out, but I wanted to run diagnostics on my MBP (13" 2009) to see if the first issue is independent of the external drive. I don't have the discs that came with my laptop and so I can't use those to boot into apple's diagnostic tools by holding D during boot up.
Is there another way to get access to those tools?
