i was going to go and put bootcamp 3.0 on my mac (i recently installed snow leopard).. i was running the bootcamp assistant, but it had an error and said i'd need to reboot and run some checks and try again. i had accidentally left a few programs running and worry maybe that's what did it (i also don't remember being told to close everything, but I am in the habit of just goin through things.
anyway after i reboot, i notice my computer keeps freezing up and lagging etc. i run the disk utility and verify disk and it says there's problems that will need to be solved by running from my install disc...
so i boot up into the osx install screen, run the repair disc.. it takes a good while and then says that the disk cannot be repaired. it recommends doing a system back up and formatting the disk. serious stuff! and problematic bc I just haven't done it before and while i understand time machine is straightforward i dont' have any external hfs+ drives, just a couple half full ntfs ones. somewhat concerned, I reboot..
it takes a while this time, and has a progress bar i'm not used to seeing, but once osx starts back up it seems back to its snappy self.. no more lags etc. I run disk utility and verify the disk and it says it appears to be perfectly fine.
so i guess it's fixed?
should i worry about it still?
i'm a bit paranoid about trying to run bootcamp again, but dunno how much i should worry...
