Jeez Doc, whaddya doing? In fifteen years I only had one drive go on me and it was in a RAID pair. Three days later I had the replacement back from Singapore, slotted it in and away she went. Didn't even have to reboot. You must have a highly unstable aura :)
I think the clincher there with Drive 10 is its desire for reducing your directories to zero, which means the allocation table and its mandatory backup are both stuffed. In this situation you really want a utility that prompts you, file by mangled file, what to do and I can't recommend one for the mac.
But don't go ahead with what drive 10 wants to do unless you have a good backup.
You learned your lesson about backups after you got your laptop back, didn't you?
