definitely time to try more/different disk repair utilities. apple's utilities catch some things other programs don't, but other programs will fix things that apple's programs don't. you need at least one disk utility besides what apple has written. you still need apple's utils though, probably because the authors of the other disk utils assume you have apple's program and don't duplicate all of it's functions in their disk utilities. power loses like that can definitely cause major disk corruption. definitely get it completely fixed before doing any more work on the machine or you may lose old and new files (cross linking and other problems from the file system data being corrupted). this is one of the reasons i use a ups. small ups systems are fairly inexpensive, and meci.com has some very nice surplused units, i have 2 that i bought from them (one for the computers, one for the satellite tv). i've always been very, very happy with meci. the ups i have were made for ncr and are very, very nice and much nicer than "new" units for the same price.
