    You may have to try & use the command line access to see about repairing the

    startup volume, or see if you can exit the SafeBoot mode by using that method.

    Or use the install-restore DVD for your computer, where available, to try & fix it.

     

    Perhaps you could use information here as a workaround to that problem:

    •Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support

     

    {In systems with a recovery partition (lion & later) you could perhaps start in that

    and initiate a repair using OS X Disk Utility; but Snow Leopard hasn't Recovery.}

     

    You may also attempt a startup from Snow Leopard Install-restore DVD, so as

    to use Disk Utility to repair disk and also repair disk permissions, then restart

    normally from the Macintosh hard disk drive.

     

    Hopefully this can help make it work again.

    Good luck & happy computing!
