[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1330139, member: 46727"] Your install DVD should be just like your American Express Card - never leave home without it. :) OK, well let's try this = Boot the machine into single user mode: 1. Shut down your Mac if it is on. 2. Press the power button to start the computer. 3. Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) key and the "s" key for single-user mode. (Command-S) Once you've entered into single user mode you should see white lettering on a black background. (Similar to an old fashioned DOS prompt.) Enter the following command: /sbin/fsck -fy Report back what it said. [/QUOTE]
