Hey guys.

I've been having random crashes among other problems with my newly purchased 15' powerbook.

When i go to verify disk in the disk utility, it says the volume needs repair.

How do i do this as 'repair disk' is ghosted out.

Help

    Boot off the Mac OS X installation DVD.

    Holding option will let you select the DVD once inserted, yes.



    And you don't have to reinstall. Once booted, there'll be a Utilities menu that will let you launch Disk Utility.
