I was trying to partition and this error came out: Filesystem verification failed or repair failed. What can I do???

@wilsontoto do you have journalling enabled?

Partition failed with the error:

Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed

:/

@hiphopbrokemyheart11 boot from your os x install disk , go to utilities, select your disk, verify, then repair disk then it should work
