I don't know whether this has been discussed before, or whether it is even a widespread problem, but I finally jumped in and got a shiny new aluminium imac about two months ago after being woo'd by the Mac Mini a couple of years ago, and I'm having BIG issues. About a month in the harddrive began making really nasty squeaking noises, like a rusty hinge, and suddenly this morning it's not responding whatsoever. I've tried booting with the install disc and repairing, time machine, repairing permissions etc etc to no avail. It won't even let me reinstall Leopard whilst archiving my previous system info. I fear this is the end for this machine already, am I correct? Bizarre thing is, the machine still knows how much space is left on the harddrive, which is my only beacon of hope that it's still alive.
If anyone has any new light to shed on my issue or even some simple advice, I'd be very grateful; even if it's "take it back to Apple!"
I'm starting to think my little Mac Mini wasn't all that, well, little anymore....
