Q: Curious disk & Disk Utility problems
When I run Disk Utility on my drive I get this message: "Disk Utility stopped verifying [name of my disk]. This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility."
So I followed these instrcutions and the recovery Disk Utility claims to have successfully repaired the disk. I have subsequently verified and repaired the disk using the recovery Disk Utility just to be sure. Again, according to it, everything is fine.
However, when I run the Disk Utility from the drive itself that I'm verifying I still get the above message. It always says the disk needs to be repaired — whereas the recovery Disk Utility I try to use to carry out the repair now always says the disk is fine.
This is feaking me out. Is my disk okay or not?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers guys/gals.
