It is best to run some of the disk utilities from the install CD, but
not Repair Permissions. The CD does not know what permissions on the
hard drive are now the correct ones. You have to run Repair
Permissions from the hard drive or volume that you are checking
because there you have all the applications and other software that
has been installed and which the CD does not know.

Quote from Apple;
Try Disk Utility
In most circumstances, you check and repair the disk using the Disk
Utility application included with Mac OS X.
Steps for using Disk Utility
Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the
computer while holding the C key.
Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer
menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer.
If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to
display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
Click Disk Repair.
----------------------------------------------------
Disk Utility checks the disk.
Always start up from the disc to use Disk Utility. Otherwise, you might
see some disk error messages.
If the Verify and Repair buttons are dimmed in the Disk Utility window,
make sure you have selected a volume to check.

Thanks Al,

Yes the Apple procedure only recommends that you only run "Disk Repair"
from the CD disk utilities.
The complete procedure is worth reviewing and bookmarking incase of
problems.
It even recommends a "Safe Boot" Quote;
----------------------------------------------------
Try a Safe Boot
Mac OS X 10.2 can Safe Boot. If you have not yet upgraded to 10.2, 10.3
or later, then skip to the next section. A Safe Boot may allow you to
restart successfully using a reduced version of system software. In
Safe Mode, an automatic disk check and repair may resolve your issue.

I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have
you got a cat?" Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"
