Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard. I was going through my itunes and it locked up, I waited, but nothing happened so I had to shut it down. Now when ever I turn it on, it turns on stays at the white screen with the apple and spinning wheel, then turns off after a few minutes. Is there anything that I can do to fix this? I think I have my leopard disc if that helps.

I would recommend booting from your System disc and running Disk Utility from there. Run the Verify & Repair option.

An invalid node structure indicates some sort of corruption of the filesystem.

You could try Disk Warrior, or do an Erase and Install, both may fix it.
And there is the possibility the HDD is failing.

Check the SMART status of your HDD, first.

If there's anything you need on the HDD, do a backup while you can.
