Comments on: Coming of Christ http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2008/07/22/coming-of-christ/ I'm feeling pretty good about myself right about now.

I feel your pain. Does it seem to be a physical problem with a the drive (audible head-crashing, etc)? If it's *only* a corrupted volume, there may be some hope. It does seem that OS X is especially prone to software-related data corruption - the plus side is that there are plenty of applications for recovering files from corrupted HFS volumes. There's one that I've had fairly good luck with called "Data Rescue II" ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/1133 ). - Stephen Ack! I feel your pain.

Dismantling a PB is intimidating but you can find instructions at (AFAICR) http://www.ifixit.com which guided me through to a large drink when it was all done. Have had my wrists slapped for putting in a HDD (Seagate 7200RPM with 8MB cache) that knocks battery life .... but it does wonders for performance! The original was 4300RPM with 2MB cache so not in the same league. Good luck ... it is all doable though the professionals will charge stupendous fees for it.
