Disk First Aid:

Disk First Aid is a utility which verifies the directory
structure of any Hierarchial File System (HFS) based storage
volume.  Many hard disk drives, floppy disk       and
Compact Disk (CD) drives are examples of HFS-based storage
volumes.

If imperfections are found within a volume Disk First Aid
can be used as a "first step" to repair the defects.  If a
volume has suffered severe corruption other utility programs
or repair methods may need to be used.

Running Disk First Aid:

Click on the volume you would like to verify or repair. 
Multiple volumes can be selected by holding down the Shift
key while clicking on the volumes.

Select the Verify button to begin a verification process or
the Repair button to verify and repair the selected
volume(s).

Note:  Some volumes can be verified but not repaired.  For
example, the startup disk, the Disk First Aid disk (the
volume where DFA resides), a write-protected disk or a disk
which has open files can all be verified, but not repaired. 
Disk First Aid will warn you if one of these conditions
exist when you select a volume.

The verify or repair process can be stopped at anytime by
clicking on the Stop button.

The results of a verification and/or repair will be posted
in the Disk First Aid window.
