Clean Install to resolve HD problem?

[alexwatz]

Hi
I have a Macbook Pro running Tiger.. recently it has been running super slow so I did a utility check and apparently - My HD says Volume needs to be repaired... I tried this with Onyx but I don't have my original OS X installer CD.

I have saved all my files on an external HD, and so my question is:
Would a clean install of leopard take care of the HD problem?
Do I need disk warrior as well?
any help much appreciated
Alex

Have a look at this thread (stickied at the top of this forum). In particular, do step 7. That should get you fixed up without having to go through so much hassle.

thanks tried all of these except single boot mode... somehow can't enter the forward slash in this mode..

would doing the clean install with leopard not simply solve all my problems?
