Can I do a disk repair from a Snow Leopard DVD? I don't have physical media for Lion, so I'm not sure what to do here. Update: so I re-ran Disk Utility and got the following: Should I let it run overnight? I miss the good old days when Unix kernels would print gobs of messages to the console, so you could at least figure out what it's doing. I powered it off, repeated, and same deal- always gets stuck in the same place in safe mode.Īny suggestions on what could be wrong? The disk is large (1TB), but only 357GB in use. For good measure I decided to reboot in safe mode and let it do a disk repair.īut it never gets past about the 10% mark in whatever it's doing when it enters safe mode (I just have the gray progress bar and spinner.) I let it run for about 4 hours and it didn't budge. I did that, it finished quickly and without issue. ![]() ![]() Some Googling suggested running Disk Utility to repair permissions. Things started getting unbearably slow (windows slow to scroll), can't switch between programs without a long pause, etc.) Nothing obvious is running (checked ActivityMonitor, CPU is largely idle).
