I forgot we had the Intel version of DiskWarrior! I ran it twice. The  
first time it found lots of stuff but still wouldn't boot, so I ran  
it again and it found nothing and still doesn't boot OSX, just XP. I  
guess it must be some bad physical problem with the drive. Ill look  
into Data Rescue II.
