I just learned from an audio guy that the disk utility on the X
installer disk can do things the startup drive DU can'e - sometimes you
need to run it from the installer...
When? Why? Can't tell you that... I dunno!

It took me a while to realize that osX can do quite a lot of repair
work during
boot, even after using the Disk Utility. Some repair work apparenty
occurs
during the verbose startup sequence (mostly during Check Disk), some
during the
blue screen after the verbose startup. It can take quite a while.
I've
learned to be patient and let the system do its stuff.
