Hi, I'm trying to install a bigger Boot Camp partition in my HD (OSX 10.4.8), but when trying, a message that my HD needs repair with Disk Utility appears, I run Disk Utility, but it stops with this error message:
The underlying task reported failure on exit. First Aid failed. And I cannot run Disk Utility anymore, what should I do? I tried reinstalling the software, but it says it can't, that there were an error during installation too. I'll appreciate your help guys. Thanks. |

Try running disk utility from the OS X install dvd. Boot the computer with the disc in it and hold the C button-- but I think the install disc opens automatically...

Perhaps I'm misreading the posts above, but I think GladToBeHere is referring to starting Disk Utility from the installation disc, not the hard drive--in other words, don't use the Disk Utility that is installed on your hard drive to inspect the hard drive.

If you look in the FAQ thread at the top of this forum, there are details in there on how to boot into single user mode and run fsck from there. Should have a better chance of fixing problems, and you don't need to boot off the install disk to do it.
