been reading a few guides but not sure on what to do next.

i have done the following:
1. boot via lion recovery > primary hd is not mounted
2. tried to repair but it throws an error that it can't be repaired
3. tried using the partition windows OS, tried using mac drive and repair it
same error

would try to do the following but would it help in the long run or am i wasting my time to repair the hd?
install leopard instead of downloading os x lion on my external HD then install disk warrior (since i've read it can repair hfs+ formatted disks as well)?

would installing a new OS and disk warrior would have a bigger chance to repair the damage hd?

anyone have used disk warrior?

if not i'll try to find an Apple repair shop/store in my country if they can repair it. the hd works only the boot volume is damage so i wouldn't go to the option of buying an ssd to my MBP. would try the SSD in 2-3 years together with a new mac computer by then.

so would love to use my mbp until then. thank you very much
