Caleb,
Here's what to try. Follow carefully. Learned this from someone who
knows.
Have you tried fsck method?
What you want to do is shut down or restart, hold down the Command
and S key. You will then get a bunch of text scrolling across the
screen. Once this starts, you can let off the keys. It will
continue until it stops and gives you a prompt.
Type in fsck -y Make sure you leave a space after the k.
Then push Enter. Let it do its thing. It will begin repairing any
corrupted unix files used by OSX. When it is done, you can do it
again. After its says repairs have been made, then type logout
If you use a Journaled Disk, then you want to type in fsck -f
instead. This will force repair.
The regular OSX will then begin booting up. You should then restart.
This has repaired some of the most major problems but instructions
must be followed to the letter. If anybody would like to add to this
before Caleb uses it, please do.
Dave
