Bad handling of pc_EFI v9 corrupt my leopard volume

[xbomber2002]

Last week i used the widget - deepsleep.free.fr trying to hibernate my leopard system. At that moment i was using leopard 10.5.5, kernel from voodoo XNU (i forget darwin version), booting Leo by means of Grub and netkas PC_EFI v8. Leo is installed alone in a separate second sata harddrive (so when booting i tape 81 in the pc_efi menu...) my hardware is an asus p5k/epu mobo, chipsets intel P35/ICH9, graphic card nvidia 7300GS, 2gigs RAM. By executing this widget the system seems to hibernate but it's not the case despite the fact that the computer suspend it's activity. Waking up the system by pressing the power on button didn't bring it back to it's last state rather it completely reboot the computer. It's clear the widget act as shutting down the machine. since then i modified the volume by deleting some useless files in my daily use of the machine.

 

Yesterday i decided to try the netkas pc_EFI v9 "boot" file with GRUB. I installed it as mentionned in the Readme file of the previous PC_EFI v8 (no clear instrutions was found for PC_EFI v9) and booted my PC. And now what a surprise i'm getting the last state of my system that i left when used the widget deepsleep.free.fr last week. so i rebooted a second time my computer and this was fatal for me. The system now refuse to display the leo finder all i get is an infinitly grey spinning wheel. In verbose mode a corrupt system file was reported. As last resort an "fcsk -fy" command in single user mode unfortunately was not able to repair the volume.

 

I don't know how to proceed to repair the volume. Do someone have an advice for tools/tips/soft that i can use to recover my leopard volume. Diskwarrior, drive genius can do that ? I don't want to make a clean install as it's time consuming.

 

waiting to hear from you. Thanks.

I'm in your shoes too. What I did is re-install.
