Disk Utility isn't, and isn't meant to be, fully comprehensible disk repair software. It's designed to fix minor day-to-day errors (and is another reason to reboot your Mac occasionally). For more complex issues you need to buy one of the third-party disk utilities, although there's no guarantee those will rescue a completely screwed disk either.
