[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1584559, member: 46727"] If the repair option is grayed out in Disk Utility while in recovery mode, the drive is likely not repairable and should be replaced. If you have an older install DVD (Leopard, Snow Leopard) you can try booting with it and see if you can access the drive. However, if you couldn't repair it in Recovery mode, it likely is not repairable as I stated above. Check your warranty status on the drive. Most drives are warranted for two years which means you may be able to get a RMA and a replacement. Hopefully, you've been making backups and will not lose any data. [/QUOTE]
