[QUOTE="Joe Redifer, post: 516679, member: 36328"] Typing "fsck -f" (without the quotes) after booting your computer into single user mode by holding Command/Apple + S when you turn your machine on is basically the same thing as booting up from the install disk and "repairing" the hard drive, if needed. It won't make your computer run faster per say, but it is a good thing to do every once in awhile. I much prefer doing it via this method instead of booting up from the install disc which can take a very long time and offers no advantage unless you can't even boot into single user mode in the first place. Anyway after you type the fsck -f, don't forget to type [b]reboot[/b] after it is finished to restart your computer! [/QUOTE]
