Thanks Lew
I think it was done and I just didn't know it, was looking for something saying 
it was complete. However, the button for repairs permission was not dimmed so, 
from what  Sarah's post said , it must have completed but I didn't know it.

Is disk repair in the same area, going to first aid and doing the disk repair 
instead of the permissions?
Thanks
Barbara
