Disk could not be repaired... Uh Oh

[Westyfield2]

I broke it properly?!

My MBP won't boot OS X, but it will boot into Windows (Bootcamp) and I can boot off of the OS X install disc. So, logic says I've corrupted the OS rather than a hardware issue (and actually I can think what might have caused it).

In 'Disk Utility' on the install disc when I run a repair disk it says "Invalid sibling link", "Rebuilding catalog B-tree" and then "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired."
I assume that means I did a good job at corrupting it!


Any ideas please! Windows on it works perfectly, but I'm writing this from my iPad to try and spread some happy Mac vibes to it!

Well the OSX partition should be HFS+ journaled usually. There may be a recovery program but it sounds like it's very fubarred.

My SSD had a missing linked file after my battery kept cutting out. Luckily it repaired successfully.

after my battery kept cutting out.

That's what I think did this
