[QUOTE="dobby, post: 1362976, member: 110485"] Reading a CD is a easer task for a optical drive than reading a DVD . So it might indicate that you're optical drive is nearly failing . To my knowledge repairing disk permission only works if you startup from you're install DVD . If you do it from a working system it says that it repair the disk permission but it did not not . Clean you're log and restart the disk repair and you will find the same repairing items . Do you a USB DVD drive around ? If so try to read the DVD from the USB drive . If it is succes full boot you're MAC using the DVD drive and repair you're disk permission from there . Press the option key during boot to boot from the USB DRIVE [/QUOTE]
