    I assume you ar using OS X.

    Boot single user mode (hold down opt-s)

    at the prompt

    $ df

    df will show your disk devices

    note the /dev/disk123 that is your / (root) directory

    $ fsck -y /dev/disk123



    The File System ChecKer should repair any inconistancies.



    You could also try apples disk repair utility. (/Applicatiions/Utilities/Disksomething)
