Re: Volume Wrapper
Whether it's corrupted during or after formatting the drive, what's the difference. The end result is the same, and one still needs to rule out the same possible issues (software, hardware (drive), hardware (logic)). Yet, the damage doesn't need to come from bad formatting... the data can corrupt just like any other file on the disk, as it is accessed and changed by OS X periodically.

Re: Volume Wrapper
Sorry, the Volume Wrapper is actually an HFS+ specific thing. The Volume Wrapper is a chunk of HFS information to allow the ROMs in older machines to properly boot an HFS+ drive, since this wrapper is part of the HFS+ specification, all HFS+ partitions have it. The significance could be large or small... but personally, I would run Disk Utility off the OS X install CD (if your iBook has it) to do the repairs of something like that rather than Disk Warrior. If Disk Utility can't fix it... then it would appear to be a bad drive, run the Hardware Diagnostic CD that came with the iBook and if errors come up there, it is time to call Apple to get the drive replaced.
