Disc Errors and can't repair

[asxtb]

I was playing around on my iBook the other day at work and was playing with the disc utility. I did a 'verify disc' and it came up with an error. But I can't repair it.(The 'repair disc' button is grey) Any ideas what to do? Thanks. Here is the error it is giving me.

Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Jeremy's iBook needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

I think you cannot repair your boot disc. You have to boot from another disc, first. In your case, this should be the Mac OS X install disc, I think.

Exactly right. If you can't find your restore discs though, you can run fsck.
