I'll go along with what Sam and Paul have said. DiskWarrior is the way to go.
Probably easiest to start the iMac up in Target Disk mode (Restart holding down T) and connect to another Mac with DiskWarrior installed via a FireWire cable. If the iMac hard drive has any hardware problems, DiskWarrior will let you know. If you're going to buy yourself a copy of DiskWarrior, make sure the box (or download) contains version 4 or greater, preferably version 4.2 - you can update that to version 4.3 from the Alsoft web site.
