[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1628950"] Snow Leopard (10.6) and Leopard (10.5) and earlier don't have recovery partitions. If it's an Intel-based Mac, order a copy of the Snow Leopard DVD from Apple for $20 and boot from that when it arrives. If its a G5/G4/etc then recovery is going to be a much more difficult business. Your HD is still communicating, which is good news, but the directory of the disk may be corrupted. I would normally suggest DiskWarrior to fix this issue but it's $100+ so without being certain it can fix the issue I can't suggest you buy it. [/QUOTE]
