[QUOTE="chicago, post: 342476, member: 23494"] This error will happen to anyone who tries to verify or repair their boot/primary hard drive. The reason this error occurs is b/c that boot drive is running the OS. You can't run the OS and repair the boot drive at the same time. One or the other. So, if you're booted up into your OS and try to do this, bam, you get that error. That's why when you boot of the disc, you can repair the HDD (hard disk drive). You're able to do this b/c you didn't boot off the HDD but the CD. Running disk utility off the OSX CD will fix your problem. Keep in mind though, if you're having to repair your hard drive often, that's a good sign your hard drive is needing to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
