Are you sure your drive is working ok? You might want to start with
checking the SMART status of the drive. Want to make sure this is some
other corruption problem and not a drive starting to fail. Otherwise you
could get everything all fixed up and just have it go out again. Easiest
way to do this is from the terminal by doing the command:
diskutil info disk0 | grep SMART
You should get:
SMART Status: Verified
If you get something else then your drive is on its way to the dumpster.

My 2011 MBP has been taking longer and longer to boot up so on Saturday I
booted to safe mode and opened disk utilities and did the tried and true repare
disk permissions and repare disk. There were lots of disk permission errors
that seemed to rep are properly but when it had all finished, I did a check
disk to find it needed to be repaired. Half way through the repair process,
VoiceOver totally crashed. My daughter told me when it finished and exited
utilities and restarted the system. It loaded once, voiceover didn't work at
all and then on restarting once more, I got the mac version of the blue screen
of death.
Luckily I have a carbon copy clone bootable backup and a time machine backup
but what ever damage was going on with the internal drive, the ccc bootable
works to a point but I won't be able to copy it back onto the internal as it's
not totally stable. With this in mind, I'm going to live off the ccc bootable
and format and reinstall ml on the internal.
Any tips on where to start? Can I reinstall all my emails back into apple mail
once I reinstall? Mail was crashing so I wonder if the files are even intact.
Anyway, any start points would be greatly appreciated as I've never done any of
this before and although I can live with having to totally fresh install and
set up my system, things like importing mail, finding the gigs and gigs of
samples etc that I have from MainStage and installing them in gb etc would make
life and my monthly ISP limit so much easier.
Thanks in advance.
Danny.
