Try Disk Warrior, it does the same thing and probably better. This program
is specifically designed to repair B-Tree information. Some say it's better
than Nortons and Techtool pro at this very proceedure. Usually, people run
the other two apps after running Disk Warrior first.

Just my two cents worth,
