[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 359593, member: 3889"] Don't bother with the DVD's Disk Utility. This is the same thing without all the bother: Restart the computer while holding down the Command and S keys until white type on a black background flows up the screen. When the type stops flowing, the cursor will be at the bottom. Type in "fsck -fy" (without the quotes but with the space) and hit return. When it finishes, and if the report says the disk was modified, even if the report also says the disk is now OK, run it again. To reboot normally, type "reboot" or "exit" (without the quotes) and hit return. [/QUOTE]
