[DM-MUG] Repair boot drive.

[AB]

My HDD seems to need repaired. I'm pretty sure this is due to my font management library, Suitcase fusion conflicting for whatever reason with Adobe suite.

To my understanding if I follow the directions found here.

it won't erase the current or existing applications and files? Am I mistaken? I've only done complete installs and upgrades with Macs. On Windows I know there's a repair option and performed such on countless occasions. 

I know I should back up files before performing maintenance. However, my present budget doesn't allow me to make any unexpected purchases right now and the backup would be to large to manually break down to be backed up on discs as I don't have enough to do so. And the system needing repairs is 10.4.11 which means it does not have the Time Machine.capabilities.

Thanks in advance for your help!
