I haven't tried Applejack but with my recent (and first ever) harddrive problems, I did follow instructions in The Missing Manual (Panther edition) for starting in Single User mode and then entering: fsck -y + Enter (or fsck -fy to force - not space after the k) to request a Disk Check and Repair. Apparently this exercise will look a little deeper than Disk Utility - layer by layer - you have to repeat it until it reports that the disk appears to be okay. What does Applejack do differently? Does it automate the repeat passes?
