Disk Utility Error-Please Help

Question

I tried to repair my hard disk. I couldn't repair straight away as the repair button was greyed out so I varified the HD. The message came up:
*Disk Utility*
*First Aid*
*Disk Utility stopped verifying “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered:*
*The underlying task reported failure on exit*
The result of the varifacation was:
*Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”*
*Checking HFS Plus volume.*
*Checking Extents Overflow file.*
*Checking Catalog file.*
*Incorrect size for file objects.nib*
*(It should be 0 instead of 4514)*
4514
*ng multi-linked files.",0)*
*Checking Catalog hierarchy.*
*Checking Extended Attributes file.*
*Checking volume bitmap.*
*Checking volume information.*
*he volume %@ needs to be repaired.",1)*
*Macintosh HD*
*Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit*
*1 HFS volume checked*
* Volume needs repair*
Could someone please advise me how to fix this.
Thank you.

You can only Repair Disk from a different boot volume so boot from your Tiger installer disk, select your language and then from the menu>Utilities>Disk Utility. select your hard drive and then Repair Disk. If Disk Utility can't repair it you will need a stronger utility like DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory.
