Before you boot from the DVD, first just try launching Disk Utility from the Utilities folder of the DVD disk and run it on your primary startup disk (select from left column) and see if you can fix it. Don't bother with 'permissions', just run the Repair Disk function of First Aid.
If, after you select your primary startup disk in First Aid, and if the Repair Disk function is greyed, restart the machine (v10.4.3 DVD still in drive) and hold down [ C ] from the keyboard while the machine boots from the DVD. If the installer launches, [ Quit ] from the installer main menu. Then find and run First Aid on the DVD, targeting your repairs upon your primary startup disk.
