The Volume Mavericks HDD Could Not Be Verified (Dual Boot Win7 + Mavericks 10.9.5)

[Bozzie]

Hi all, total noob here. I've had a look around on the forum to see if I can find a solution but my brain's kind of exploded!

I have a dual boot hackintosh running Windows 7 & Mavericks 10.9.5 on a partitioned SSD (no idea what brand it is. Gigabyte Ultra Durable?) that I bought around 2 years ago. Everything worked seemingly well up until last week when I got the following message "The Volume Mavericks HDD Could Not Be Verified. CPU Halted". And that's all she wrote.

This is my boot up screen and the single user mode where I foolishly tried the FSCK -fy line. No idea what anything means or what I'm doing.



I tried a software called MacDrive10 which allowed me to see the drive on my Windows screen. When I tried to fix/repair the HDD, the status bar went from green to red after completion. Think I read that this means the disk is corrupt? Again, no idea.

Note: The Windows 7 side works fine.

What I'd like is a way to either a fix or a step by step guide on how to format the Mavericks side and do a clean install. And when I say step by step, I mean something a 2 year old could understand!

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.
Bozzie.

@nobodynose Everything went over my head! No idea what any of it meant! Thank you for offering some kind of help anyway. Hopefully I can sort out this issue at some point. For now, I'll have to stick with the windows side.
