I recenlty came across the following:

"Problem: Keys out of order, 4, 617"

Disk First Aid cannot repair it after a forced restart.

I don't now of any true problems it's causing but I know I want to get rid of the problem.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Toad

First, try retarting from the system CD (hold the C key down) and run Disk First Aid from that. If that does not work, remember Disk First Aid is only designed to to do simple repairs. Try a program like Disk Warrior, Norton Disk Doctor or TechTools (this is my order of preference, others feel differently). Good luck.

Thanks for the advice:

I tried the system CD, it said that it could not repair the problem

The "problem" hasn't caused any issues I'm aware of yet other than that it gives me the error if I hit the restart button.
