I ran it using Verify, the only option active, the other being repair was greyed out. It verified that the number of free blocks available was incorrect and ?the HD needs to be repaired. However it gives me no active option to carry out that repair. Also, having closed the installer window I still can not eject the installer disk because it is ?in use?. Any suggestions appreciated.
