Boot drive problems

I'm a firm believer in DiskWarrior, by the guy who created HSF. I'd  
give that a shot. It should at least be able to mount a read only  
image of the volume so you can pull data off of it. If that doesn't  
work, try Data Rescue II

It's possible there's a media defect where a crucial portion of the  
directory is located and thus can't be repaired. If you repartition  
and then erase with zeros, in theory the drive should find bad blocks  
and remove them from use.

I want ZFS so bad I can taste it.
