[QUOTE="Emoguy55, post: 636544, member: 43050"] My iBook just crashed and have no clue long story short heres my situation and what I am trying to accomplish. Im on vacation, dont have my repair disks or an OS disk with me. So what I'm trying to do is repair disk permissions while in single user mode. I know it can be done because thats how I recoverd my mac from its last crash as dumb as this sounds, I just cant remember how so I boot into single user mode and run fsck it replies, volume is journaled. no checking performed just to be careful I run fsck -fy it says, invalid node structure volume check failed so I move on and mount the volume the run diskutil repairpermissions /disk and it does nothing, only now it wont let run any more commands a little help???
