[QUOTE="etaf, post: 1649716, member: 332460"] I looking remotely at a friends OSX Macbook pro 2008 - not sure what OSX is on it Had an issue with outlook 2011 not opening - repairing the database identity did not fix the issue I was going to put thunderbird on a see if i could import the emails - but the device running very slow and Safari crashed so I got him to run verify under disk utility and got an error the disk needed to be repaired and something about a repair HD disk We don't have any thing - and not an OSX expert. Can i do a repair like chkdsk on windows or what can i do know i have copied all the data (except the microsoft outlook database identities ) strange reason theres 300GB free on the external drive - and the identities with all the copy and backups - is 119GB - but the copy says not enough room ????? any way and safe way to repair Next steps ? I have suggested he purchases an portable external 1TB drive to copy to and then use for timemachine once sorted thanks [/QUOTE]
