[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1741336, member: 376394"] Your internal drive has two partitions on it. One is the OS drive commonly called, Macintosh HD, and the other is the Recovery partition, the boot drive when you hold "Option+R" at startup. I was asking, when you are in Safe Mode, did you run Disk Utility on the Macintosh HD partition? I don't use Safe Mode often, but I do test from the Recovery partition, when I am troubleshooting issues. I would trust the results from Disk Utility that was run from Recovery partition more than DU run from Safe Mode. [/QUOTE]
