Ok, So I ended up killing my harddrive finding the spot. Once I got home from work, I opened it, and tried to goto logmein.com. and it ended up crashing. So I tried it again, and it crashed. Then I Figured I needed to reboot. I did, and it loaded with one icon on my desktop with a spinning beachball. Then I restarted in Single usermode and ran the fsck -fy, and it fail to repair it. I actually had a 30 gig partition on the end of the drive with a Beta of Snow leopard. So I was able to boot that. It said that it couldn;t repair my other volume on bootup. So I tried Diskwarrior, and it basically frose from many errors on the harddrive. So I pulled the drive out, and am running HDD Reherator v1.51 on it, and it is very hosed.

Luckly, I don't have anything too critical on it. I do have a lot of music on it, but most of it is on my ipod, so I am safe there. Already went to Best Buy and bought a 360 gig WD "My Passport Essential" for $119. Ripped the drive out of the enclosure, and put it in my macbook. So goes the reinstall proceedure of all my programs.
