[QUOTE="johngriggs, post: 1033125, member: 150314"] I'm not sure which ones they are. The tech guy gave me copied cds (I'm assuming he doesn't want to part with the originals) of what he said was installed on the machine. There are 4 disks. Tonight I was able to boot in FWTD mode and retrieve all of my files, but when I ran Disk Utility on the drive I got the message that Verify had stopped because "The underlying task reported failure on exit." The verify log ended with: Overlapped extent allocation (file 3807528 /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Resources) Overlapped extent allocation (file 3807536 /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/Current) 3807536 /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/Current ocation (file %@)",1) 3811822 /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/PkgInfo Overlapped extent allocation (file 3816610 /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper.app/Contents/PkgInfo) Overlapped extent allocation (file 3826210 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist) Overlapped extent allocation (file Overlapped extent allocation (file ervices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices) Overlapped extent allocation (file 3829497 /usr/lib/libbsm.dylib) Checking volume bitmap. Volume Bit Map needs minor repair_ Checking volume information. Invalid volume free block count_ (It should be 5621666 instead of 5621101) The volume Dee needs to be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit 1 HFS volume checked Volume needs repair Can someone decode that for me? And does any of this explain why I can't boot from the cd? I keep wondering if the cd drive went bad, but then that wouldn't keep the computer from booting, right? It seems to me that it would either be: 1. harddrive crash in which case I wouldn't be able to access the drive through FWTD mode 2. cd rom drive went bad in which I should be able to boot up like normal 3. corrupted system file (somehow) in which case I should be able to boot from cd The fact that I can't boot from cd AND I can't boot normally just seems odd.
