Thanks to all who responded. My replies are below: RUSS wrote: >>Is that a mis-read or typing error? Perhaps should read ["1 HFS volume checked":]
Yes. It?s HFS (my old eyes, or my old shaky typing). >>if it were me I would go ahead and run OS X's Disk Utility program (found in /Applications/Utilities) and run the "Verify Disk" option and "Repair Disk" if it reports any errors. Just for peace of mind. When I open Disk Utility, the Repair Disk button is greyed out. I assume that?s because the disk I?m trying to repair is the startup (internal HD). But my OS X install disk has only ?Welcome to Tiger,? ?Read Before You Install,? ?Install Mac OS X,? and ?Xcode Tools.? No utilities, nothing to boot from.

And didn't you recently buy Tiger? ...v10.4.3, if I remember right. [YES] That disk should also be bootable and would contain it's own Disk Utility also. Run First Aid from there (disk repair, not permissions) if you can and see if it yields a different outcome. See above reply to Russ.

I?m afraid this is way beyond me, but if nothing else turns up, I?ll try it. Thanks again, Nolan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
