[QUOTE="neil_akoga, post: 624342, member: 29651"] ok here's an update and thanks for all the help so far :) it turns out that the original disc that I got was 10.2 (i bought my G5 second hand about 2 years ago) so i'm presuming the guy i bought it off did an upgrade at some point but didn't give me the disc :( i went out and bought a new sata drive and installed the 10.2 on it but kept everything else on my old drive because i have a helluva lot of stuff on it that i can't afford to wipe away is there any way i can get the disk utility tool as a standalone download from somewhere? unfortunately (because i'm a bit of a mac noob) i ran the 10.2 disk utility to try and repair the 10.4 drive, have i fubar'd it? the error i got when i ran the repair was as follows invalid leaf record count (it should be 15 instead of 6184) [/QUOTE]
