Verify Disk Error

[fh2level]

I was trying to use BootCamp but during partitioning it said there was an error veryfing the disk and to use disk utility to fix it.

So I did, clicked verify disk in disk utility and this is the report i get:

"Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit


1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"

So then I click Repair permissions, it goes through, no erros, Try everything again but still get the same errors

Trying clicking on "Repair Disk" (on the right side) instead.

The "Repair Disk" button is not clickable only the other three

Ah, that's because you can't repair the boot drive. Try booting from another drive, such as the OS X Install disc. You should then be able to repair that drive.

This happened to me RIGHT NOW too. How can I boot from the CD?

 

[slooksterPSV]

Put CD in drive
Restart computer and press and hold C before you hear the chime
OS X installer loads, choose English, then click utilities->Disk utility
Repair the drive

Cheers. What is this error anyway?

 

[Glenn Wolsey]

My disk is fixed! Thanks slookster!

Here's another one, if you can't find the CD's try booting with CMD+S into single user mode and typing in fsck -fy to repair your volumes as well

I belive booting into safe mode will also fsck you aswell, takes a while tho....

Actually Safe Mode, if I'm correct, does not, it just loads the minimal amount of devices you need to run/repair/diagnos OS X. I could be wrong though.

before repairing your boot drive, just make sure your important documents are backed up, in case the issue cant be repaired and ends up destroying data

it has happened in the past

Safe mode does force a system check/verify.

c/v but not repair right?

I think so. I've never done it when the disk has needed a repair though, so I'm not sure. Nevertheless, it certainly does the check.
