Just a minor point:  The term  "Click of Death" is used to describe a 
phenomenon specific to Iomega zip (or other removeable) drives.

Do *not* use any version of Norton Disk Doctor lower than v.4 for MacOS 
Extended volumes.   If you were to use v. 3.5.2, you would have received a warning 
to this effect;  versions earlier than 3.5.2 will not warn you.  

Don't know what to tell you now...if NDD indeed messed up your HD 
partition(s), you may have to reformat the drive, reinstall your OS, and restore your 
data.
