traut, don't fret, yet.
boot from your tiger dvd (by holding c at startup). run UTILITIES>DISK UTILITY, if it fails S.M.A.R.T., then it's definately a hardware issue.
but if you can get your hands on a mac with os 9 installed, it may still recognize your drive (if you put your ibook into firewire target disk mode).Because OS 9 doesn't check for S.M.A.R.T. and I have had success getting it to recover data from drives that OS X would not even mount from Single User Mode.
Good Luck :)
