Yes, if you run Lion or Mountain Lion, you can start your computer from the hidden recovery partition.
Shut down your computer. Power it back on and immediately hold down command+r keys. The computer should boot from the recovery partition. Note! Give it some good while because at this stage you have no speech. Then activate Voiceover with command+f5. You will gett a different voice here so don't panic. You will be placed on the table of available applications/functions. Interact. At the bottom of the list you will find disk utility application. Stop interacting with the table and move right to press go button if I remember correctly. Disk utility will be launched. From there you can repair permissions, and verify disk. If there is a problem, you will be given a chance to repair it.
