Hello all,
I was copying about 90gb's of stuff from my Macbook over to an external, it got about half way through before I got an error message saying one of the files it was copying (I think it was an mp3 or a RAR file of an mp3) was corrupt and it could not copy it.
I clicked 'ok' and it seemed to carry on copying.
20 minutes later it was on the same place in the transfer, no more than before. I clicked 'stop' thinking it had crashed and I'll have to start over, but nothing happened. I carried on clicking it for a few minutes but it stayed as it was.
So I held the power button down and it switched off.
When I switch it back on I get the Apple welcome sound, but nothing else. Well, a white/grey screen.
I've tried to boot into safe mode buy holding down 'C', 'Shift', and whatever else Google suggested, but to no avail. I'm running Leopard, though the Mac came with Tiger originally in October. I've inserted Disc Utility disc ('Disc 1') that came in the box, but nothing happens.
And now the disc refuses to eject.
I have an appointment with at the Genius Bar on Tuesday but urgently need my macbook to work NOW. (Work reasons)
First post here, please help.
