[B]Important[/B]: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility. [*]Click the First Aid tab. [*]Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions. [*]Select your Mac OS X volume. [*]Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.[/LIST][B]Tip[/B]: Always start up your computer from an Install or Restore disc when using Disk Utility to verify or repair your startup volume.
