I semed to have figured it out…here’s my problem…which i found on the Alsoft webpage:
“NOTE: The current DiskWarrior CD cannot start up the new Mac Pro and Xserve models introduced on 01/08/2008, the MacBook Air introduced on 01/15/2008, the MacBook/MacBook Pro models introduced on 02/26/2008, or the iMac models introduced on 04/28/2008. An updated disc that will also start up these recent Mac models will be released as soon as Apple, Inc. releases new startup files to Alsoft, Inc. and other developers.

I have one of the new Imacs released on 4/28/2008. I hope Apple moves faster.
