Long story cut short, I need to know what this means:

Problem: Invalid PEOF, 277739, 225

I doubt that you can help, but it's worth a try ay :-)

Cheers!

...or just the key points...

May I just suggest that you don't include old posts with yours, as it can make the post harder to read.

Cheers Phil.

I'll give Apple a ring tomorrow and see what they say.

Oh, then sorry, don't know jack abotu Mac's though maybe it's something to do with a bad segment on your Hard Drive, a scratch or something, but again, I don't know nothing about Mac's.

That's why I thought you won't be able to help. I'm on an iMac y'see...

Anyway, it's a hard drive error apparently, and that piece of text was taken from Disk First Aid.

Where does it come from??? Which program etc...
