Hello,
Doing routine maintenance my notebook (2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 Gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OSX 10.4.11) has told me it needs me to boot it from a bootable disk in order to properly Verify the HD, as there is a problem with the disk. The computer is running fine but I want to repair whatever problem there is before it becomes visible to me. I've tried a number of bootable disks but the notebook refuses to recognise them. I've tried a number of ways of "pointing" it to the CD-drive (holding down C at boot up, Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-Del, &c). How can I get the machine to Verify the disk? Could I do it by starting it in Target mode and running Verify from my other notebook (which has Leopard)?
