What do you think?

Immediately back up all your data. Try and make a determination if
anything important to you is missing.

First, what Alan said. Did you run Disk Utility from the recovery
partition? I have found DU frequently has problems fixing the volume
from which it is launched. If you don't have a recovery partition, try mounting it on another Mac using Firewire and running DU from that Mac.
I have found these errors are usually less severe then they sound.
Some free block count off by one for example.

Thank you both for your comments.

I've been trying to bring back to life a 27in iMac which was destined
for the recycling centre!

What I ended up doing was use a Time Machine backup
from one of my /own/ iMacs and 'Restored' this faulty machine from that!

It worked! 😃

Thanks, Ant. There's nothing of significance on the machine which had
been destined for the recycle centre

Here's an image of the 'sick' computer with my iMac on the right:-

Have you ever seen a 'warning' such as that shown on MY iMac?
