What is a good hard drive recovery tool for the Mac? My problem is that my iMac SBOD'ed on me so I had to hold the power button and shut it off. However, when I turned it back on. The Apple logo would go staticky and then it wouldn't boot into Mac OS X. Instead it booted into a black screen that looks like a terminal window. Any solutions? I have no backups (I was about to begin taking the data off to install Leopard onto it) and I really need the data thats on it.
I've tried Disk Warrior so I know the files are there. I just can't copy them over or rebuild the directory. Whenever I try rebuilding the directory, it says that I don't have enough room. The drive is a 250GB drive and has 7GB left of storage.
I've also used the Disk Utility on the OS install disc and it says that there's a catalog error.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated and I am pretty much up for anything. Thanks in advance for the help.
