[QUOTE="mac57, post: 372917, member: 17052"] Uh oh, I ran the "Verify Boot Volume" thing that comes up now when you start it. It says the volume needs repairing, and yet my Mac seems to be working well. Should I trust it? Brings back memories of a McAfee utility I ran years ago on a Windows system. It claimed my registry was corrupted and offered to fix it. I stupidly let it do so. It completely trashed my machine. I think I had to reload the OS to get it back. Now, whenever a utility tells me that something about the system itself is wrong, I don't trust it. ...just because I am paranoid doesn't mean that the utilities AREN'T out to get me!! :dive: :dive: [/QUOTE]
