I see...but the volume in this case is the account and not the hardisk...I guess what I'm trying to figure out, is whether this means that my hardisk will die soon and there's nothing I can do about it? I mean wouldn't formatting the machine solve the problem if anything else fails? thanks G

WOWWWW!!! what do you mean by "dying a slow HollyWood style death"? I'm pretty sure my harddisk is working fine, it's my admin. account that is the problem....I'm currently using my non-admin account and it's working just fine...Or am I missing out on something here? If so, please explain...

Hi... I can't thank you enough for keep on trying...but unfortunately it's not working...this is what it says about info Name : Geraldine.sparseimage Type : Disk Image Disk Identifier : disk1 Media Name : Apple sparse disk image Media Media Type : Generic Connection Bus ...

Hi... So, so far I've done the following: everything you told me on your last post, and then I took my iBook in to a computer (Mac) store, where they tried to use Disk Warrior to repair my account. But it didn't work, the guys in there suspect it is because FileVault has created an image of my...

I really apologize for keep asking for help...but what you suggested has gotten me further than anything else... I'm trying to repair the geraldine.sparseimage (which is my account), but I can't... it keeps telling me that it needs repair, but shows this Disk Utility stopped repairing...

Hi... I did the second part of what you wrote to me, and now I'm able to log on, but nothing comes on the screen...I might have to do with filevault... If you have any ideas- I'll be more than happy to read them. Thanks again Gmonie

Hello all... I've tried to look for my problem for 2 days now...and can't seem to find it anywhere... The problem is that 2 days ago I plugged my iPod into my iBook, so that it could charge up, when I came home the iPod still reported that it was updating- which had been for several hours. I...
