Open Disk Utility. Click on your internal hard drive. Click on the 
First Aid tab.

To Repair the disk (drive)...you can't. The button is dimmed. You have 
to reboot to another drive to repair the internal.

To Repair Permissions, you can. The button is not dimmed.

Two different repairs. Repairing Permissions is not repairing the drive.

You can startup in Single User Mode holding down the Comand+S keys but 
then that isn't using Disk First Aid. Some people have said that it 
runs Disk First Aid but I do not know for sure. I think it uses UNIX 
commands.
