[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1328559, member: 24098"] Have you tried booting from your system discs and running Disk Utility that way? Sometimes issues are unrepairable while an OS is being run from the partition. Since you mentioned you now have Lion, this is even easier to do. Just start with the machine off, turn it on and then immediately press and hold Command+R. Once you do, the Lion Recovery menu should come up after a bit. Run Disk Utility from the menu and run Verify/Repair Disk and Verify/Repair Permissions. If this doesn't do the trick, you may need to do a filesystem repair using fsck, as described in this article: [url=http://www.mac-forums.com/blog/basic-mac-troubleshooting-2/#more-385]Mac-Forums Blog » Mac Hardware » Basic Mac Troubleshooting[/url] And finally, use the SMART Utility to check for hardware issues: [url=http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php]Volitans Software- Makers of SMART Utility for the Mac[/url] The free trial is fine, you don't need to buy it. And if you haven't already run a backup, now would be the time. [/QUOTE]
