I did some commands in the Terminal to disable the journaling, but I still coudln't mount the HD or do anything...4) Every time I try to boot on the HD, it starts like it's going to boot in Safe Mode, but the progression bar will disappear when it reaches the middle and it won't boot even in Safe Mode.5) I formatted a spare HD got Mac OSX on it, got DiskWarrior, and ran a disk check on my new HD. It gave me a lot of errors, but when I tried to "REPLACE", it gave me the error 2351 -36 and said it couldn't replace........And that's where I am at the moment.... Desperate....I thought I wouldn't post on a forum because I thought I'll find somebody who had the same issue and use the answers, but I have to say there are too many people having the same issues but not the same solutions...I am starting to wonder if the problem comes from something else than my HD.My graphic card?Nvidia Geforce 9600? I read a few articles about this card, so I'm getting worrried....Did I buy a new drive for nothing?(My old drive wouldn't even come up any more in Disk Utility though).If you have any idea or directions to send me to, thanks.It's Friday and I NEED to work on Monday......</blockquote>
