Using install disk to "Repair Disk"

[tsd57]

When I run my "verify disk" , I get the message:

Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect size for file Flash CS3 MRU
(It should be 0 instead of 286)
2 %)

The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit


1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair

So, I know that I need to use my Mac OSX install disk to run the "repair disk" command. My Question is, do I need to use the same 10.4 disk that came with my computer, or can I use another 10.4 disk.

I'm wondering, because my friend's disk is 10.4.6, and my system (when new) might have been newer than that. I know that everyone updates the OS when new versions come out, but I'm not sure if I need my exact install disk. ?

p.s. does anyone know why this error occurred? I'm about to install Leopard, so I want things to be in good condition.

If you can boot from the disk, you can run repair. Here is some info from Apple:

If you have an intel Mac, you'll need the disk that came with your computer - retail builds of Tiger were PPC only.

Alternatively if the DVD isn't available, boot into single user mode (Hold down CMD + S on boot) and once you get to the command line type the following:

fsck -fy

Let it do its thing - if you get a message saying that 'File system was modified' run the same command again. When finished, type "reboot" (without the quotes) to ..err... reboot

That should sort it

The Apple document says
"Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you should use Disk Utility instead of fsck, whenever possible."
