What error code is it? Was there a description?

If you haven't, back up your hdd before you restart.

A screenshot would help, no? :]

You guys can be so dense.

A little bit more info would be useful. ;) What sort of error, when/how did it happen?

Obviously, the error message is 'I'm scared.' As in 'I'm scared, Dave.'

This is common, and happens to a lot of people after they updated their firmware. Basically it's just a size error and run disk utility from your startup disks and it will be fine.

Do not worry about it at all. Your not anything unsual, after all if it was really somthing to worry about it, they wouldnt have encorparated the error message and solution in bootcamp would they.

I had that message, it turned out to be down to photoshop cs2.

I had to remove the legal folder from the cs2 install to get it to pass the disk repair.

How can I run disk utility from the startup disks. I insert the installation disk 1 and restart and then what?

If you go to the top of the screen a menu will appear on the utilities menu (I think its called that about 4 along) there is the option for disk utility.

You're not the only one to not find it, it took me a while hehe :D

Exactly as Gordy says :)

Just agree to english language and click proceed and then dont go any further with installation just get disk utility from the menu.

Repair Disk (rather than repair permisions)
