ran fsck and it showed same error. said it had modified the disk, ran fsck again and it came out fine...rebooted and ran disk util and it checked out. I guess I had so few problems i had completely forgotten about fsck

What's fsck & how do I run fsck?

?

To start up in single-user mode:

Choose Apple menu > Restart, or press the power button if the computer is turned off.

Press Command-S as the computer starts up.

The computer screen is black with standard white text. You can now run the UNIX commands that you want.

Start in single user mode and follow the directions on screen.

Tanx, Sun Baked, that worked!!!

I typed '/sbin/fsck -fy' & igorned many 'Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds ...' errors. I kept on typing until it came up clean. Rebooted & ran OnyX -- I'm good to go <whew>. I didn't know abt Cmd-S. Tanx again.

Aloha, (Mr.) DizzyDeane
