Q: i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities and said I need to repair disk from a cd. did that, I got volume repaired from the external disk. when I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair

i have a slow macbook, i ran live disk utilities (from hard drive), turned out I needed to repair disk from a installation disk. Did that, I got the volume (Hard drive) repaired from the installation disk disk. To this point, great!

When I reboot from hdd, then run disk utility, I get the same error message i did b4 repair. I went thru two rounds of this.....

 

Can anyone help? thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    It would be really nice if you would share with us the error message you are getting.

    What is the error? Are you Repairing or Verifying the disk?

    Sorry guys, I don't see how to reply to you so I use reply to "me" basically.

    So the error I get is "volume header needs minor repair" and then you need to perform repair from the installation disk message.

    I did repair not verify from the disk twice. Every time ending in the "the volume had ha been successfully repaired". Then I reboot from the internal disk. Run disk utilities from it, do verify and get the same error message I got before repair. I hope this can shed some light fr you guys. Sorry I didn't include details in the original
