Alright, here's the background info. Last evening I installed Leopard on my younger brothers Macbook Pro. It gave me an error message at the end of the installation stating something about Xerox Print Drivers, but I ignored and the computer worked fine for the rest of the evening.
Today, it was frozen, so my brother held the power button and shut it down. Upon trying to restart it he encountered this problem...
The Apple grey/white screen with the spinning gear. It won't leave this screen, and will attempt to re-boot itself after several minutes. Only to find out, it's stuck at the same spot as before, grey apple screen and spinning gear.
What I've already tried. I tried to boot from the Leopard CD, but no dice. I stuck it in hoping it would recognize it, it's didn't.
I don't know what else to do, I backed up my own MBP, but not my brothers. He's not concerned with losing data, it's all good. We just would like to get his laptop up and running smoothly with Leopard OS.
What can I do to fix this? It's rather odd, it worked last night and today nothing? I even ran updates and re-booted last night with no problem.
Any help is appreciated!
