Hi,

My HD crashed and my MBP does not start anymore in normal mode.
I can start in single user and even though fdisk gives me sone I/O errors, I access my filesystem, including a bunch of files I need to recover.

However, I cannot mount any external HD to the MBP in single mode.
1) mount requires an empty folder and I cannot create a new one (HD is read-only and system complains when I'm running mount -uw / = "error replaying the journal + mount_hfs invalid argument
2) If I use an existing empty folder, it says "corrupted block" when I'm trying to mount the external HD - "Incorrect super block"

Is there any way to do that ? Or to launch network so that I can scp files to another computer ? Alternatively, any hint to access the HD from another laptop in target mode (mount, disk utility, techtool disk warrior, etc. all fail)

Thanks !
