I have booted off a partition on my Firewire connected external drive.

There IS a reason for it. My iBook G4 has been a bit flaky of recent. Crashing and rebooting problems.

I want to run some sort of disk utility, say "Disk Utility" to check and repair my internal hard drive. However, Disk Utility does not show my internal drive just the two partitions on my external drive.

So... how do I perform diagnostics, any any repairs for my internal hard drive?

Any other suggestions for addressing freezing, crashing and rebooting problems?

iBook G4 running OS X 10.3.9

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
