Startup Issues OSX 10.3ish

[knatex]

i can't my computer to startup, even in safe mode. I *can* get to single suser mode. More specific progress below.

- safe mode start up: takes some time, gets to mac osx screen with blue progress bar which goes to 100% and then hangs forever, while coninuing to be animated

- single-user mode startup 01: diskutil info / --gave bus error

- fsck –fy --gave overlapped extent allocation files, volume bitmap needs minor repair, invalid free block count

- only 4 files were over lapped, I removed each with the rm command

- ran fsck –fy again and it gave no problems (vol has been repaired or something)

- safe mode start up does identical thing still

- regular startup does same thing

what can i do?
(not a unix guy - just follwoing instructions)

Well it looks like one of two things. Either a badly written third party program screwed harshly with the core OS X files or your hard drive maybe is dying a slow death. First of all NEVER run ANYTHING from Norton. That program was discontinued back in 2004. You should have the disk utility DiskWarrior. It would really help right now. So the only step you can take an Archive & Install.
