How could I run Disk Utility on the boot SSD?

[charlesstricklin]

Guys and girls,

The SSD containing my macOS High Sierra and nothing else tells me that it's corrupted and needs to be repaired, but it recommends I do do from Recovery. I've tried to run it there as well as my thumb drive, but it won't run.

Is there something I could do to run it on the SSD, or will I have to format it, check it, and then reinstall from a Time Machine backup?

In order to boot into the recovery partition you must put FakeSMC.kext into your /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder on your EFI partition.
