Troubleshooting a friend's unibody-white Macbook 2009 (?), 13"
Can't boot into Install DVD
Can't boot into Apple Hardware Test
Can't boot into Safe/Verbose/Single-User - nothing
Just Apple logo screen, spinning needles.
HDD is spinning and not making any clicking or death noises so it could be a filesystem issue, corrupted HD, but I should be able to boot into the Install DVD.
Any ideas?
Swap the drive for a fresh one and boot? Not sure why that would work if I can't even boot up into the install DVD now...
