Once you have restarted your Mac in Recovery mode, you can use Disk Utility to repair your startup drive.

I will try this. its at a shop now and the tech wants to replace the hard drive. whatever. I'd rather not before I've tried to repair the disk. I had it in safe mode at home and now the tech is not able to get into recovery mode. I don't agree with his diagnosis. thanks
