[QUOTE="jerH, post: 1210983, member: 97929"] So here's a thought...given that disc utility only seems unable to fix errors associated with the boot support partitions, would it be possible to boot from an external drive and attempt to use the current hard drive for data only? I'm basically looking for a short term fix since I have spare USB 2.0 external drives, but don't have $200 laying around for a new internal HD.... [/QUOTE]
