[QUOTE="Floatcat, post: 1153277, member: 182230"] [b]booting call[/b] THAT"S the problem .... the leopard disk I am trying to boot from is OS X10.5.6 ... the original Apple disk with the purple galaxy graphiocs on it ... not the model-specific grey one. Yet, even while holding down "C" while restarting the mac will NOT boot from the disk .... instead it goes to a dialog box asking me to install. I select "quit install" from the Mac menu which gives me a choice of startup disks: my previously nonbooting hard drive or the OS X disk. i choose the OS X disk and the senario repeats itself ... over & over & over ... until I choose the previously unbootable hard drive ... which then boots up nicely, thank you. So i never get to repair it .. as I can't seem to make it boot from the OS X disk. And tonight upon arrival home ..... it booted right up from the hard drive like it was never a problem. However running Disk Utility brings up an error: Verifying volume “XXXXXXXXX” Performing live verification. Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume. Checking Extents Overflow file. Checking Catalog file. Checking multi-linked files. Checking Catalog hierarchy. Checking Extended Attributes file. Checking volume bitmap. Checking volume information. Invalid volume file count (It should be 1076595 instead of 1076596) Invalid volume directory count (It should be 245335 instead of 245334) The volume XXXXXXX needs to be repaired. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed. Who knows if it will boot up tomorrow? isn't there an icon that is tearing its hair out? [/QUOTE]
