This will work if you are running Mavericks, not sure about prior operating
systems.
Shut down, then, when you restart, after the chime, hold down command R for
a few seconds..
This will take you into recovery mode.
Wait a few seconds, perhaps 30, then start Voiceover with Command F5.
You will be in the recovery consul, where you can run disk utilities and try
repair permissions again on Macintosh HD.
Hope this helps.

Well Jim,
I was feeling pretty pleased with myself, having found the utilities folder
and gotten the process going. There were two disks to choose from, so I
decided to get them both. The first one was 500 Hitachi something or other,
and that one seemed to go fairly well. The second one, Mackentosh HD or
something like that started repairing sometime ago, but now seems to have
been showing one minute left to go for at least a half an hour. Not sure how
to proceed now.
