Hi. It all happend this morning I was creating motion graphic as usual and suddenly Flash8 and the Finder stopped responding. Forcequit didn't work and my computer froze so I turned computer off and turned it on again..... and then all of the sudden I can't log in to my admin user account.
When the user log in screen comes up and type my user name and password, it simply freezes forever.

I thought it might be the FileVault issue coz I've turned it on for my admin account. When I log in as different user it works fine, however the admin user name in /Users/ changed to Amy1 from Amy.
I also searched for the .sparseimage and it was in the hidden folder named .Amy (with the dot at the front)
I've been looking at the similar problems in other forum and tried Disk Utility to save my data, but it gives back the error message which says:

First Aid failed
Disk Utility stopped repairing "Amy" because the following error was encountered:

The underlying task reported failure on exit

-----

Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Amy needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

1 HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error



--------

My OS:10.4.7
Processor:2GHz Intel Core Duo
Memory:2GB DDR2 SDRAM

Can anyone help me from this? All my works are in that admin account and I really needs it back:(
 
Boot to the OS X Install disk, open Disk Utility from the Utilities
drop-down menu and run Repair Disk and then Repair Permissions.
 
I've tried that but when you varify the disk it gives error message which says:

Verifying volume “Mac OS X Install Disc 1”
Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk

And I can't click on Repair Disk / Repair Disk Permissions.

The status is:
Mount Point : /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1 Capacity : 4.7 GB (5,076,033,536 Bytes)
Format : Mac OS Extended Available : 144.6 MB (151,605,248 Bytes)
Write Status : Read Only Used : 4.6 GB (4,924,428,288 Bytes)
Number of Folders : 5,557 Number of Files : 11,707




For my .sparseimage:
Disk Description : Amy.sparseimage Disk Write Status : Not mounted
Connection Bus : Disk Image

Disk Image Path : /Users/.Amy/Amy.sparseimage
 
I forgot to mention that inside my .Amy folder (which is hidden somehow)has Library and Amy.sparseimage, and inside my Amy 1 folder (which is renamed somehow...it should be just Amy) there's Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public and Sites folder but all of them can't be viewed from my other account coz when I type in admin account name and password, it gives error back.

I have no idea why the admin user name in the /Users/ directory have changed but the Amy.sparseimage itself seems to have all my data inside.
Size is 34.12GB.
