[QUOTE="Mac Noobster, post: 1339830, member: 228226"] I want to run repair disk on my mac. . But I don't want to accidentally erase my HD and reinstall the OS! Can I hold the "option" key during start up and select the OSX DVD on the grey screen to get to disk utility and repair the disk? Is that the same as booting from DVD by holding "C"? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
