hi all
a while back my MBP optical drive quit working, and now I am trying to figure out a way to use disc utility on the original install disc to repair my hard drive (this is recommended, for whatever reason, when I run disc utility on my MBP's HDD).
I'm running OSX 10.5.8
I have an external hard drive with space on it. But the only other computer I have is a windows machine.
Does anyone have the necessary steps to accomplish this? I've seen vague references to it elsewhere, but I need a bit more hand holding...
thanks very much!
