The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

1 HFS Volume checked. Volume needs repair."
Does this mean my Hard Disk needs to be replaced? Can a HD be
"repaired"?
Or
Does it mean I should re-install the OS?
Disk Warrior says much the same. It cannot repair it.
There are no obvious symptoms of impending disaster but I have backed-up

Start up from another system ...( external firewire would be
OK ) ...... and run Disk Utility
to repair the volume, and then see what you have
Lot's of times it will repair , but depending on the trouble you may
need to do a reformat .
You cannot do a repair from the OSX working on the HD
