Thanks Onyx worked for the trash problem.matt9013,
you tried Onyx and it didn't work?
Yes I booted from the install disk and ran disk repair.YTou say did Disk Utility repairs. Did you boo from the install disk and run Repair Disk from there, as it is not possible to repair a disk you are booted from. Also go into SYstem Preferences > Startup Disk and make sure your boot drive is highlighted.
