OK my friend and I at lunch just tried running a target disk mode and was going to try and copy from his pictures folder from his macbook pro. When we did this it showed nothing on my ibook HD then when he tried to copy his stuff over to mine it said are you sure you want to copy over, then all of a sudden it was there. So we powered down my ibook and tried to go through the create user account again and it still showed no pictures to choose from. So we went back into the target disk mode and then went into the disk utilities and we got these errors:
Invalid key length Volume check failed Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed Does this mean that my HD is failing? Any suggestions?
