i bought a WD 320GB SATA drive for my powermac g5 today, reformatted, and install os x with out any problems, but when i go to verify my drive, disk utility reports the foloowing:

Verifying volume “Mac OS X”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Illegal name
Illegal name
Checking multi-linked files.
archy.",0)
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Mac OS X needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

so i boot up with my tiger dvd and fix the problem, and it successfully repairs, but when i boot back into the OS, and run disk utility and verify the drive again, it reports the same errors! any ideas? my system seems to be running fine though... not sure why these errors keep coming up....

I just came across this same problem on my system. However, booting from the Tiger disk didn't work either. However, I did find an interesting article. See here...

This points to an issue with the End User Licensing agreement files for foreign languages. Seem you need to delete the Legal or Legal.localized folder for Adobe products.

I followed the instructions outlined by Adobe and was then able to repair the disk without failure.
