Hi, I am using 10.7.4 and when I use Comand  R my system freezes up.  I can not repair my startup disk.  any ideas?

I am using OnyX and it says I need to repair my startup Disk.  When I do Comm +R my system freezes up and I can not do anything.  Is there a way to get past this?

If you have a TM backup on an external drive, restart the computer and hold down the option key. You will get a selection of drives. The TM drive has a recovery drive also. I think it will be listed as Mac OSX. Select it and try booting from it. Your internal drive might be bad and not allowing you to start from that recovery drive.
