Q: Disk utility tells me to repair the disk but when I do it says it's ok
My MacBook Pro started acting sluggish yesterday so I checked things out using Disk Utility / Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk. The Verify and Repair Disk options told me this.. "the volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired us…es window appears, choose disk utility."
I then restart pressing the command key and the "R" key until the OSX utility screen appears. Next, I select "Verify Disk". It tells me that "The volume XXX appears to be ok. The partition appears to be ok." So, I am now stuck. Any ideas how to remedy this situation? Any help is appreciated!!!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)

If the computer is started up from the Mac OS X hard disk (or disk partition) and Disk Utility finds errors on it, there is not necessarily anything wrong. Only when started up from the CD should Disk Utility reports of errors on the Mac OS X hard disk (or disk partition) be considered accurate.
Disk Utility incorrectly reports disk errors on startup volume
