[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 21040, member: 279"] when booting up the computer hold down the Apple key and S when the unix terminal is done loading (you will be able to tell) type this in /sbin/fsck -f hit enter thats the closest to a sector scanner in OS X When it is done if it found errors do the scan again if not type in Reboot hit enter (it might be restart i always forget) and it will boot up [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
