Hi all
I am relatively new on this forum and new to Mac. I have macbook pro with 2.4 Intel Chip. I ran out of hard disk space when copying a file into mac. Suddenly the system froze on me and then like an idiot I pressed the power button (which I shouldnt't have). Now the system does not boot up. It displays the apple logo then I get grey screen and then blue screen. Then the system cycles between the blue and grey screen. I need to free up some hard disk space but the problem is that is that it does not boot up. I have the grey disks that came with the macpro. Here is what I have done:
1. Removed the power and tried to reboot after 10 minutes. resets the chip. No joy.
2. Tried the safe mode. I do get the login screen but for some reason the system does not accept my password.
What else can I try? I really want my data back
Thanks for your help
