[X4U] Can't verify disk from boot volume.

[Robert A. (Bob) Hall]

Linda, thanks for your response. I have always been able to 
verify,and not repair, the boot volume, from the booted volume. In 
fact when I just now booted on my external FireWire disk I could 
verify from the booted (FireWire) disk--and I am not able to repair 
that disk (the Verify Disk button is not grayed and the Repair Disk 
button is grayed out).
