If you have DiskWarrior, now is the to time see if it can rescue your

I'd do that. Or consider TechTool Pro or Nortons. I've had Nortons
see a disk missed by the other 2 of DW & TTP. In it's place, I'd try
Apple's First Aid. That might be futile if the system wants to
initialize it but still worth the exercise. HTH.
I tried Apple First Aid and it said there were major problems but it
could not fix them. I don't have DiskWarrior but I ran Norton and it
repaired the disk and then it mounted. After that, launched xpf and back
into X without any more problems. Thanks for the good advice, Eric.

Well 3 cheers for Nortons Utility 'cause that was condemned to the worst software of the century by many. Nortons also works for me many times where others failed. Glad it worked.
