MacBook Pro Disk Partition Corrupt

So, today my MacOSX disk partition became corrupt. When I try to boot it loads up a update bar thingy at the bottom of the screen then the bar fills a tiny bit then crashes. I got the disk corrupt information from booting into repair mode and using disk utility's repair function. I currently have no access to a large enough hard drive to hold all of my partition. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

I have to ask; do you do occasional Time Machine backups? Just making sure.

Assuming not (or you have a much too old TM backup), you should get an external backup drive (like the Seagate ones that fit in a shirt pocket; 1 TB). It will set you back about $100 or so. They sell them at places like Best Buy, Apple store, Frye's; online at new egg, etc.

As to how you get your partition (or selected data) transferred over successfully, I'm not savvy. I did recently replace the HD in my 6 yr. old iMac, but I was able to restore using TM.

Edit: PC Part Picker in the UK looks good. What other partitions do you have? Win 7, Linux, Ubuntu?
