i guess i'm in just a different mood at night
*wonders why
but here goes:
i've always trusted the opinions of apple authorized dealers.. thats something i loved about mac when i started. macs could only be bought from people who were authorized dealers, therefore fully informed and knoweldgable, however with soaring profits and production you can buy a mac at best buy now where the pimple faced fuck doesn't know a thing.
that being said seek the help of apple itself via a phone call:
1-800-275-2273
or their website. i suggest this link for this situation:
http://docs.info.apple.com/artic…
tanks method is what i have always practiced and yes the key to hold is T during startup with the firewire cable connected to another machine
other than that my only suggestion is to avoid diskwarrior as my experience has proved that it is more of a restore tool than a repair tool restoring back to a safe state most often removing fiels recently created.
if this is an upgrade from 9 and certain system files have been lost/removed he will most likely have to reinstall the the os completely and if the information has not been backed up before this situation, it is very likely that ALL information has been lost
so in conclusion not knowing what happened prior to the mishap, it is very difficult to assess and properly diagnose his machine for the proper repair procedure
i wish his files luck. i would hate to hear they have been lost as i am afraid they might be, but i still believe that users doing things they do not need to or understand how to causes 99% of all mac problems
