I used to know how to repair macs, but they've advanced so
much I'm lost. I'm running OSX 3.9. It would NOT boot past
the grey screen so I pulled up single user (with
instructions, I don't actually know what that means) and got
the following info. Can anyone help with:

/sbin/fsck -fy
** /dev/rdisk0s5
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
disk0s5: I/O error.
disk0s5: I/O error.
Keys out of order (4, 1637)
**Rebuilding Catalog B-tree
disk0s5: I/O error.
** The volume could not be repaired.

I don't know what to do now. **sigh** It looks bad.

If the format fails, your HD disk is shot.

I got a keys out of order message too. Tech Tool Deluxe recommended getting a 3rd
party utility and if that failed to erase and reinstall. I decided to go ahead and wipe the
hard drive. I hooked another Mac to mine with firewire and then started the problem
computer in target mode. I copied my important data and...See More
