[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1334234, member: 46727"] My first suggestion and recommendation is to immediately make a backup of your OS X installation. Use Time Machine or cloning software. Also make a backup of your Windows partition. You can do that with the free [URL="http://download.cnet.com/Winclone/3000-2242_4-172338.html"]WinClone[/URL] provided the Windows partition is formatted to NTFS. It sounds like your hard drive may be having problems. You can try erasing and reformatting but it may not resolve the error you received when you ran Disk Utility. Be prepared to change out the hard drive for a new one. (You can erase the OS X partition while leaving the Windows partition intact.) [/QUOTE]
