iMac i3 with lion. I started having some shut downs with a kernel error which looked like it was related to parrelells. My wired memory was stuck at 9.5 gb out of 12 gb. Eventually my Mac would not boot. I booted out of recovery hd and ran disk utility
"invalid index key" the volume iMac hd was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Error: this disk needs to be repaired. Click repair disc
I did the above and it lists "invalid index key"
Rebuilding catalog B tree
The volume iMac hd could not be repaired
Volume repair complete
Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required
Error: disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as may files as possible, reformat the Disk, and restore your backed up files
Is this from a software issue, virus on my parrellels or Mac, or hardware issue?
Any other steps to try?
I have apple care, is something like this covered?
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks
