Sounds like you're trying to repair the startup disk, which it won't let you do.

If you have a single partition computer and have no other options, reboot the computer and hold down Command-S. That will boot in single-user mode with some pretty weird looking text messages.

Eventually you'll be left at a command prompt where you'll type <b>fsck</b> which will run a disk repair tool. You may need to run it more than once until it reports that it found no errors.

Another nice thing to know (or suspect--it's just a rumor so far as I know) is that OS X does some self-repair on startup anyway.

Hi, what is the problem you are trying to repair? Although a Norton 6 bootable CD (from OS 9m though) will repair any HDD problems you have, it is hard to tell what you need. If rharder's fix didn't help, could your problem need a different fix?:confused:
 
Hi thanx.
