I hope you have a backup of your hard drive or SSD, because that sounds for sure like a dead drive.

I actually figured out my issue and fixed it. Took a while since I had to unplug all my drives one-by-one to find the drive causing the issue. It happened to be my Clone drive!! So I unplugged the drive, booted up with unibeast, plugged drive back in while up & running in unibeast, opened Disk Utility and ran a repair disk on it(since the disk wouldn't mount...corrupt) and then ran repair permissions. Rebooted and all was good. I plugged all my other drives back in and everything was still good...thank god!:thumbup::crazy:
