Just use Apple's Disk Utility. As Bill points out in his reply - it's available on the OS DVD, so you can use it to repair your boot volume. Or you can boot on your external clone/backup and run it from there. Disk Utility handles most problems quite well. If it can't, then you can purchase DiskWarrior or Data Rescue ... but really, at that point, the only time you'd be reaching for those particular utilities is if you totally failed to make backups.
