Hey guys, I am having an issue with a BlackBook (not mine in the signiture). It froze 3 successive times on me, ended up force quitting the application each time (Photobooth) and then I went to restart to try and fix the issue. When I hit the menu, Finder froze up and it forced me to do a hard shutdown. It went to a gray screen on the next startup. It took me a few tries (including a PRAM zap), but I finally got it to boot from the instal disk.

Anyway, right now im repairing the disk (Disk Utility on the instal disk) and getting a bunch of errors on the screen. They are as follows.

Invalid Node Structure
Invalid Record Count
Missing thread record (id = 167302) <- that one a bunch of different times with different numbers
Volume Bitmap needs minor repair
Volume Header needs minor repair



It went through a bunch of other text (too much to type out) and finally ended with a "Repair Failed"



I'm assuming the HD is beyond repair. Am I correct in this assumption?

If you can access files at all, back up anything you can.

Maybe try an Archive and Reinstall?

Tried that and it couldnt find the HD. I'll try again tonight after I get home from work.
