Hi all,
Im having a bit of an issue with my macbook pro...
Its a new machine (to me anyway, i brought it second hand so apple warranty is out of the question I havent even got round to getting apple care yet!), as I was adding my music to my new itunes the machine hung, so i left it for a while... still hanging, left it for half hour and it was still hanging, so I forced a shutdown. Now it only boots as far as Darwin!
I have entered my master user name and password into Darwin and it accepts them, but does nothing!
I have also tried booting in single user mode and trying a number of things I have found on the net and on here, but i still cant get anything to work.
If I run fsck -fy in single user I get a few lines with no errors and **The volume Macintosh HD appears OK.
If I run only fsck -y (so not forcing the check of journalled areas) I get the error messages...
Vpd: Cannot read VPD keys
PNMI GetStruct failed
Im a bit lost here now, can anyone help?
I had the hard drive die on my old powerbook, but that was far more drastic than whats happening here. So im hoping its just a software issue that can be reolved.
At the end of the day I have all my work and photos on my old powerbook so will still only lose my music if I need to reformat, but is there any other way around this?
Many thanks in advance.
Tom
