There are directory related errors there, if Disk First Aid can't fix them for you I'd be running Disk Warrior over it then try again. Cheers, Coj Xavier Noria <fxn at hashref.com> Before the update to Tiger from an up-to-date Panther I repaired permissions as usual. After a couple of dialogs the Tiger installer says it is verifying the disk, and after a while it says there was an error and a restart is needed. I've attached a handful of lines from the bottom of /private/var/log/install.log, any ideas? I work daily with this computer and never had a problem with the disk. What would you recommend to do? -- fxn Apr 28 17:22:36 localhost : Checking volume bitmap.
