[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1595583, member: 46727"] No, it's not the same thing because you can not run a verify and repair on the hard drive while you're booted from it. I don't understand why you can't get into recovery? Are you sure you're holding down the Command and R keys together as soon as you hear the boot noise? If you can't get into recovery that may mean one of two things: You do not have a recovery partition for some reason, or the drive is corrupted (unlikely). Earlier in this thread you stated that you tried to re-install OS X? Did you in fact re-install? Anyway, my advice is to give Apple Care a call and make an appointment to take your machine in and have them diagnose it. Since you have Apple Care, you may as well have them look it over and make any repairs as necessary. Make sure before you bring it on in that you back up all your data first. That's very important because they may re-install OS X or even change out your hard drive and that will result in a loss of all your data. Let us know how it turns out - and don't forget to back up. ;) [/QUOTE]
