You could try a single-user startup and run an fsck -fy, but that's the same as running Disk Utility. Still, you never know.Failing that and with no repair app other than Disk Utility, the only option left might be an archive and install that isolates the old system and your user's library in a folder and writes new ones.This would save all your apps and documents, but you'd have to go through the system-software updates again and set the computer up the way it was.</blockquote>
