Hi folks,
After having my iMac a few months, I enabled (and subsequently disabled) FileVault and things have never been the same. I verified my disk using DU, and it said that I need to boot from a CD and run a repair on the volume.
I'm trying to boot from the original install/restore CD that came with the iMac - I hold option at startup, select the CD, the apple logo changes to a halt sign, and then the machine boots up into my regular OS - not the CD.
Is there another way to repair the volume? What am I doing wrong, and how can I boot to the CD so that I can run a repair? I picked up a MBP recently as well and tried booting to the OS CD that came with that as well and get the same result - a halt sign and the iMac just boots to the hard drive.
Any insight would very much be appreciated. FV made my system all sorts of unstable, and I'm constantly getting Finder crashes and random App hangs.
Thanks much!
