Hi all,
Got a boot up problem. Mac was running fine. Went to power it up, and it got stuck at a grey screen (no logo). The hard drive sounds like it has gotten a angry mosquito in it.
I went through the normal trouble shooting steps. Reset the NV ram and all that. It won't go into the single user mode at all.
Booted from the CD, and ran the Disk Utility and it wouldn't finish the "Repair Disk". It dumps out with 2 errors. One about a node being the wrong size, and another error (-9xxx). Sorry, I didn't write it down the first time, and now it just hangs up during repair with the DISK UTILITY.
Tried re-installing OS X from the CD, but the installer cannot find the HD (no volumes to install to).
SOOOO, the big question is there anything else I can try before hauling the thing off to the Apple Store? There was nothing critical on the HD, but I was just curious about anything I might have missed.
Thanks,
RM
