Repair disk, is it necessary?
Do I need to repair my hard drive first using the tool in disk utility? I've verified the drive, fixed all permissions, but there was something like "First aid failed"

1) What does that ^ mean? How can I fix it?
2) I want to go through the 'upgrade OS' mode without a clean installation. Will I encounter any problems given the situation?
3) What if something goes wrong mid-way, do I still have Tiger with all my files?
4) Am I just being paranoid?
