[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1302459, member: 46727"] Try this method of repair: Boot the machine in Single User Mode = Hold down the Command Key and S key as soon as you hear the chime. That will give you a DOS like command line interface. Now type the following: fsck -y That will run a verify - repair on the hard drive same as Disk Utility. If you get a response back that the disk was modified, run the same thing again. Keep doing that until you get a response that the MacIntosh HD appears to be OK. [/QUOTE]
