Hello.
First of all, let me just say that I apologize if you don't understand something from what I am saying. It's 2a.m. and I'm mentally exhausted. Also, I'm barely scratching the surface as a n00b on the whole OSX86 thing so please, bare with me.
My girlfriend has a laptop, an Intel based one. Her brother dual-booted her laptop with XP and Mac OS (10.4 or 10.5) and patched XP to recognize Mac OS X partitions (at least, that's what I think he did).
All of a sudden, her Data( G: ) drive started acting up. Sometimes disappearing. This was happening in windows. According to windows the file system type of the drive is HFSJ.
So she booted to Mac OS and it said something about backing up her data and formatting (the conversation was over the phone so I apologize for the lack of details). Being a complete n00b, I googled on how to use Disk Utility to repair a disk in Mac OS.
So she ran Disk Utility on the G drive and it said the following :
Disk utility stopped verifying data because the following error was encountered : filessystem verify or repair failed
And also, lower down it said : invalid sibling link
She's at college and all her stuff (projects, homework, assignments, documents etc.) is on her G drive. She's really messed up and crying about it. Please help me, guys
