Hello, this is my first time on a forum like this, so I'll try my best to be clear. To begin, I have a Tiger OS X 10.4.11.
The problem I have starts off when I ran Disk Utility, specifically I selected "Verify Disk" and got the following message:
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume free block count
Invalid volume free block count
uld be %@ instead of %@)",2)
18376847
18376846
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
and then I get the message "Diskmangement Tool requires that you type password" where I then get "Fist Aid failed"
So, the next step I figured was to select "Repair Disk" but the button is greyed out, so I can't select it.
I guess my first question is: is this something to even be concerned about? My computer hasn't really been acting weird at all, but personally, I'd like to get the disk repaired.
I don't have the installer disc to boot from, as I've been reading about online. I don't even recall my computer coming with a DVD for Tiger to do that.
Also, I saw that I could try go into Single User Mode, but for some reason I can't do it. I read that it's holding "shift" and turning on the computer, I've even read it's holding "s" or "command + s" to get into it, which will run an automatic repair.
But I've tried it and my computer just starts up normally, unless I'm doing it wrong? Thanks for any comments.
