c0c0thecat Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi, I've just bought myself a pre built hackintosh everything was going well until this morning. I was told to hold down the power button and resart after doing so I got to the grey apple loading screen and progress bar appeared and got about half way and powered down. Anyway this happend about 20 time so far so I booted into single user ran fdisk and it came back with the following : ** Checking extended attributes file. Invalid node structures (8,81) ** The voloume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely /dev/rdisk02x (hfs) Exited with signal 8 Am I correct in thinking this is now corrupt and a clean install is now required!? I've got lion 10.7.2 installed at the moment but thinking about going back to snow leopard as I'm not a Lion fan at all. Thanks in advance Gerry Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276889-turns-off-on-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
