Question Problem w/ Target Disk Mode - Starts but won't mount drive.

Sorry if this has been addressed before, I couldn't find it.

While transferring files from my G4 PowerBook to a new iMac using TDM we had a power failure. Now when I try to start the PB in TDM I get the Firewire icon but the drive never mounts on the iMac.

I've tried powering down both computers and starting from scratch. No dice.

Ideas?

Unhappy

After a lot of time in Disk Utility and fsck it looks like my disk is hosed.

I'm seeing a lot about Disk Warrior working where everything else fails. My new question is how do you run the software if you can't boot? Does it come on a bootable disk?
