Uh Oh.... This is bad eh?

So my MP has been acting oddly, waking itself up with whirring fans for no reason and such.

I did some diagnostics, and this came back with Disk utility:

Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume free block count
Invalid volume free block count
uld be %@ instead of %@)",2)
16103722
16098534
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

will that Fix easily with a DVD boot and repair disk? Or am I in for something a little more heavy?

The DVD should fix it.

 

[tersono]

Either boot from the DVD and use Disk Utility, or boot into single user mode (hold CMD-S on boot) and type fsck -f at the prompt. Keep running the command until the Mac stops reporting 'The file system was modified', then type reboot to ...err.... reboot. You should then be fine

OK, thanks! I'll try it later

I've had this problem before also!

It seemed to be fixed when I followed the advice like tersono said.

Give it a shot.
