Hi,

I was going to use bootcamp to install a windows on my MacBook (late 2009) and it said that i had to run disk utility for some reason. I did, and as i was verifying my disk, it stopped because apparently i have and invalid volume file count and an invalid volume directory count. then it said that i had to repair macintosh hd from the disk.

Here's my problem, i've lost my installer disk, and i have no idea where i got it. any suggestions on what i should do?

Thanks a lot!
 
You can repair your Boot drive from Single User mode...
Start up your computer in single-user mode by pressing Cmd+S at power on,
this will get you into "Single User Mode"

At the command-line prompt type:

/sbin/fsck -fy

Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).

When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
