Did you try erasing the Pram (parameter ram).  Those Pram hold some information
about your drive and maybe that's why it won't boot..  To do this hold down
option-command-shift and choose the controle panel.

If that is not the problem, I would strongly recomand getting Symantec 
Utilities for the mac (or SUM).  This is a great program to have anyway..

Hope this helped.
