I got DiskWarrior. I kept getting kernal errors -->"We're all hanging in there" with black and white text. I found out I had a 'Invalid Sibling Link' Error. So I run Disk Warrior, it fixes the drive and finds an obscene amount of errors. I restart...but after the OSX loading screen, the screen just stays blue. The desktop never loads. So I run Disk Warrior again and it finds 2 more critical errors (how did it miss them the first time??). I restart, same thing, stays at the blue screen, not frozen just stuck. Should I keep running Disk Warrior over and over? any advice? besides reformatting...

Which version of disk warrior did you use? I would keep running it until it reports no more errors.

I keep three disk utilities - Disk Utility, Norton Disk Doctor and DiskWarrior - on my iPod (bootable). Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Try running Apple's Disk Utility on the drive, and don't forget permissions fix. If you have NDD, try it as well.
If you are trying to recover a few files before re-initializing, don't forget you can boot off an OS 9 cd and read the drive.
Good luck!

It's not unusual to have to run these type of utilities 2 or 3 times to fix major problems.
As Xaositect said, it may be helpful running Disk Warrior and Apple Disk Utility.

Hanging at the blue screen before the login screen is a symptom of invalid permissions in my experience. Boot off your OS X.2 CD, open disk utility and run repair permissions and this will probably fix it.

I'm hoping that's right, because Disk Warrior doesn't find anymore errors after the fifth time i ran it. I'll try out using the Jaguar CD Disk Repair to fix it. However, can I just reinstall 10.2 without actually reformating the drive (like just replacing the system files)?
