MAC HEADS!

Name: Anonymous 2007-04-26 21:05 ID:3b/uvs1D

OK, I have a problem with my MacBook. It seems I can't boot up from the Hard Drive anymore. When I boot up with the OS X Install Disk, I see that my Hard Drive is still there. I tried to do First Aid on it, but I got a message in red bold letters saying "Error: No valid packages" in red letters. After lurking, I found out I deleted the receipt while I was cleaning it up using Onyx. Little did I know I needed that receipt.
Now, I can't use First Aid, I can't Partition, etcetcetc...
Does anyone have any idea what I could POSSIBLY do?
I live in Tokyo, so it's hard to get help for me (My Japanese is so so.) I come to you, almighty /comp/ with my simple request.
Should and do I have to boot from an External HD? Do I have to just buy a new HD? Do I dare take it to the Apple Store?
Will someone help me in this time of need? I know this is 4Chan, but I need all of the help I can get. Right now, I'm using my brother's PC to get help. www.apple.com hasn't helped a bit. Please, please help me.
:(
Thank you.

tl;dr: Mac Hard Drive inaccesible due to me stupidly deleting receipt, now can't access HD at all, not even to re-install Mac OS X.

PROTIP: there's no such thing as 'windows/linux machine'

Well I am not an "Bootdisk." You have no right to call me that if I made mistakes.  This site should have some rules about harrassments, threats, and name calling.  I am still in the need of more help in that regards.

Don't change these.
