 Damaged Target Volume
I am trying to install Tiger and received this message in the log. Install failed: Target volume is damaged and cannot be repaired by the installer. Any tips? mm  |

Time to try whatever repair utilities you may have. DiskWarrior (the first choice for most), TechTool Pro or (shudder) Norton Systemworks/Utilities may be able to repair your disk.

Do *NOT* use Norton. Apart from the fact that it seems your harddrive is already in some way damaged (it's not as if the installer would say this otherwise), Norton would only make things worse. Instead, try to backup to a FW drive and wipe this harddrive. If it can't be serviced this way, I'd simply replace it.
