	This will likely do nothing at all to help. Your issue is with the  
file system on your hard drive. And your problem usually means your  
hard drive is starting to fail so backups become your friend very  
quickly. This problem can also be caused by other problems, like  
hooking up external hard drives and not unmounting them correctly. In  
which case the hard drive is just fine, its only a damaged filesystem  
which requires cleaning up

      This list bit of advice is what you really need. The command  
fsck is issued from a shell and means 'File System Check'. This runs  
a UNIX utility which checks out the filesystem on your hard drive.  
The option -y tells fsck to not query you for a yes/no response, but  
assume 'yes' for all queries. This fsck command also calls fsck_hfs,  
which is a more specific checking utility. But if fsck_hfs fails for  
some reason you might not really know why. If your error persist it  
would be worth your while to try fsck_hfs specifically.

For all utilities you can open Terminal and type "man <command>" to  
learn more.

Did you resolve your problem?
