So for the past day I've been unable to boot back into Mac OS X. Yesterday my computer just got really laggy, and would freeze every minute or so. After the 10th or so time of freezing, I manually shut off the laptop (Unibody MacBook Pro), and after rebooting it just froze at the startup screen, with the Apple logo and the spinning gear. I rebooted again, this time holding the option key, and saw that only my BootCamp partition was available.
I tried booting into safe mode, but after 3 hours it was still on the startup screen. I tried single-user mode, but none of the commands I used did anything. I booted using the CD's that came with the mac, and tried using Disk Utility. It still shows the Macintosh HD, so I'm pretty sure it's still there. I tried unmounting then mounting it, I verified and repaired it a few times, but no matter what I did Macintosh HD was unable to be found as a startup disk. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
