[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1328139, member: 46727"] The invalid node messages can indicate structural damage to the hard drive (bad blocks) but it could also mean a messed up file structure. I recommend you first try a reinstall of Lion before giving up on the hard drive. From the recovery partition erase and format the primary Lion partition and reinstall Lion. In order to backup your data, boot into Windows (if you can) and copy your OS X partition to an external hard drive. [/QUOTE]
