Hello Mary,

To repair your startup disk:

• Shut down your computer;
• Insert install disk;
• Hold down the letter C and press the Power button;
• Keep the C key held down until you hear the DVD working;
• When the Language Chooser screen appears, click Continue;
• The next screen will offer you the menus, go right to Utilities and down to 
Disk Utility;
• In Disk Utility, select your internal hard drive and click on Repair Disk.

When it's done, just shut down your machine again and start up again as normal.

Cheers,

Anne
