Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Can't repair disc?
Anyone know what to do with this: <http://img.skitch.com/20080525-ruf75fnqtkcx3mrw7i5sh5eney.jpg> ??? My iBook ran out of juice, so I had to reconnect the power cord before it'd restart. I booted & tried to start Safari. It crashed almost immediately. I repaired permissions, them tried to 'Verify Disc'. The above is the result... Cheers ...

If that still doesn't work then try to repair the disc from single user mode - hold down both 'Command' & 'S' at boot until you get a command line. Type /sbin/fsck -fy and wait until it's finished. Keep repeating this until the utility exits with a statement along the lines of 'volume x appears to be OK'; now type 'reboot'. 3. Get a third party utility - my preference these days is Data Rescue X, although DiskWarrior is an excellent alternative. This may be just a nasty header corruption, but assuming you get the drive back you might want to make sure Time Machine's doing its stuff to another drive...

Booting off the Tiger install disc fixed it. Thanks for that - almost started to panic... Now for a backup I think. Cheers ...

Just tried to open Safari again and it crashed the same as before... did the single user mode thing - all fine. I'm trying an update to 10.4.11 (from (10.4.10) now. Cheers ... Mark > > Cheers ...

OK - there's something *else* causing a crash, which may or may not scatter errors on the HD. Here's another list of things to do: 1. By all means install an update, but Apple witchcraft (unproven but probably more evidence than touching wood) suggests: a. Repair permissions first via (disk utility); b. Use a full combi updater, not a delta version 2. To troubleshoot the crash, try either of the following: a. Log in as a different user (create one if necessary) and try Safari from that account; b. Log on in safe mode (happy with Apple keyboard shortcuts yet?) - <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455> 'Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key. ' See if the computer crashes in either of the above circumstaces - if not then it's something in your user profile. Oh, now's the time to install AppleJack too: <http://applejack.sourceforge.net/> Gwynne SignatureMy real email is net, not line. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** >>> Cheers ...
