I would try DiskWarrior next.
Ways to recover - there are many. To external HD - over network - via
firewire target disk mode.
The HD itself may be fine but the software written directory on it
might be
crap. If DiskWarrior cant heal it then after recovering data you may
find
that simply reformatting and reinstalling works fine
as an aside - i've managed to boot the ibook into classic despite not
working in osx.
I'll look at getting the data off the ibook before doing anything else.
unfortunately i don't have disk warrior so i guess i got a bit to spend
before declaring the hdd dead.
thanks for your help
i'll keep people up to date with my progress.
(lucky its not my pb - although i do keep regular daily backups of my
home folder)
cheers
