[QUOTE="roflitskyle, post: 1162556, member: 183263"] To clarify on what Keviano said, in order to be able to run the command [I]fsck[/I] you will have to boot in single user mode. To do this turn on your computer and hold Command and S. After about 5 seconds you will see white text, then you can release Command and S. Now you should be at the command line, you need to enter this command:[B] /sbin/fsck -fy[/B] then press enter. This will go through the 5 phases about your disk usage. Once it is all done it will display this message that it is all done: ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK If you get this message: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** You will need to run the [I]fsck[/I] command again until fsck tells you that your volume is OK. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
