Heya, Im trying to figure out if theres an easy fix to make my computer run a bit better. So I tried repairing it via disc utility while be logged in to the computer, but it didnt work. I would try to boot up on the recovery drive, but I cant seem to find it. Are there any alternatives to this? Anything else I can try? Or anywhere I could download the recovery bootup stuff and put it on a USB?
Thanks

Internet Recovery should work.

What year MBA and what version OS are you on? If you are on Lion or Mountain Lion a command-r boot should get you to the recovery screen where you can run Disk Util.
