I'm running Lion on a 15" 500gb Spring 2011 MBP. Ran Disk Utility and got this message. Since I don't have an install disk for Lion, what do I do? Thanks!
P.S. I searched the database and all questions with this were pre-Lion.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), Spring 2011 15" 500gb
Restart your Mac and press command R.
This brings up the invisible Rescue/Install partition placed on your drive when Lion was installed.
Alternatively, you can hold down the Option Key at Startup and choose "Recovery HD".
In either case, proceed as if you had booted from a DVD, answer only the "What Language" question, but do NOT Install. Wait for the MenuBar to be drawn and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
Worked like a champ. Thanks!
