That is what i thinking too. Those estimated times are never accurate. I
told him to let it run overnight when he sleeps in the hotel room.

Sleeping for a few hours of it running should be enough. ;) I don't
remember how much RAM his 13.3" 2012 MBP has. Maybe 8 GB of RAM? I
wished it showed more like a graph or addresses changing like in
Memtest86 for Linux.

I agree. We wait...

Assuming he can access it, can we run a repair on it safely with its
Disk Utility? I assume this can take hours to finish? I don't
remember what v10.8.5's Disk Utilities look like in Mac OS X. I
need to show him screen shots and what to click on to do a scan and
repair. We're not going to restore and reinstall since he is remote and
doesn't know computers. Also, it is not using FileVault or any disk
encryption.
