The other night, my PowerBook's hard disk decided to die. Disk utility refused to repair the drive, saying that there was an "Invalid key length" in the Catalog file. Whoopee.
I tried DiskWarrior, but it spat back an error along the lines of:
Your disk is fucked. I can't repair it.
You're screwed.
Sorry!
(Well, that's my interpretation of it.)
I managed to borrow a 60Gb drive the next day and after some false starts, backed up my user files and applications using SuperDuper!. It's now functioning OK. Phew! I was afraid I'd lose all of my recent university work (not that I need it now that exams are over) and Mail!
Lesson of the day: Back up. Real often.
