I have been having an issue with my hard drive on my MacBook Pro (specs are listed below). I ran into some issues after removing a previously installed version of rEFIt off of my computer and removing my two linux distro partitions from the hard drive. Also I had, after removing rEFIt, re-installed it and then went to reboot my machine. After which, it now only boots into safe mode and then fails, which causes it to shutdown. I have tried accessing it through every possible gateway. It won't force boot to the OS, which I realize would lead to corrupting my hard drive. I was able to access the computer via the single user account (<Command + S>), however, diskutil failed operation and I was unable to make any changes to the system. Any ideas on what I could do to recover the data? I had planned to make a backup, but apperently not soon enough. I am fine with wiping the computer and re-installing everything, I just don't want to lose the data.
