Hi,
When i boot up my macbook, i find myself sitting at a blank white screen for a long period of time. eventually the screen turns to a grey background and OSX utilities opens up.
Can anybody explain why this is happening and offer any solutions on how i can get my macbook back to normal?

Ok.
Thank-you for all of your help, I really appreciate it.
You are welcome.
i have the same problem as above. my macbook pro just kept going off after turing it on for some time. using the net i tried every solution. first i verified it and then tried to repair it but it just kept going on and on and on. so i deleted Macintosh HD drive in the hope my macbook pro would work and now my problem is that when ever i turn on my macbook pro it goes straight to disk utility. i tried to install it using the internet but internet connection doesnt' work
can you help me. do i have to use an external disk or is there another way to reinstall Macintosh HD drive?
I have the same problem, I suspect keyboard problem with option key any way to check.
If the option key was stuck down then the machine would boot to what's called "startup manager" which looks like this
If it's going straight through to the recovery partition then it might think the 'R' key or 'cmd + r' keys are stuck or it is saying I can't find a bootable operating system and so I'll take you to the only other thing I can find. Which in this case is the recovery partition.
Sounds like you may need to erase the partition in the recovery disk and re-install the operating system.

Many thanks for the input.I started to download a operating system and left it with 4 hrs 30mins to go, i passed my mac about an hour later to notice a mac screen saver playing. Since then it has worked perfectly, the only thing that seems to be missing is a clock screen saver.I can live with that.
Macbook goes straight to osx utilities when booted up?
