I ran disk utility on my data partition and I can't seem to repair it. Any ideas? I can only access my OS partition at this time.

Verify and Repair disk "John Pham's Computer"
Checking HFS Plus Volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid sibling link.
Volume check failed.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.



1 HFS volume checked
1 Volume could not be repaired because of an error.
 
You need to use a more "professional" repair app like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro to try and rebuild the affected partition. But even that is certainly not 100% fool-proof. Hopefully you have a good back up.
 
DiskWarrior fixed the HD, but it still scratched and crashed on me. I just replaced it with a Seagate 60 GB 5400 rpm HD, and it works fine now ^_^

I just need to figure out how to access the old HD now, salvage what's left.
