Q: I Mac Not working, and Repair Disk not working
I have been trying to help out a friend with his I Mac loaded with OS X. It will not load up just by pressing the power button. I have tried running the Disk Utility and get the following messages. I am probably at the understanding of this hard drive is just toast. My next step will probably be to Erease the hard drive completely and try to install the OS X. But i am a little leary about doing that. If anyone could suggest something before I do this, that would be great. All so I have tried booting from the install disk and reinstalling the OS X with out the Formatting of the disk and it does not Allow me to access the Mac HD. There is a big yellow "!"

You would want to run DiskWarrior from a CD that the Mac is booted from.
