I recently bought a MacBook Pro from a friend of mine. The computer worked fine when I first got it. I decided I wanted the most up to date OS X so I tried to install Snow Leopard. Install went just fine but when I tried to reboot, as it says to do after install, I ended up with a screen that said "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." I get the same screen every time I restart. I have been searching through different forums and found many different ways to try to fix this, but to no avail. I have tried booting in single-user mode and using the command "fsck -f" but I am unable to type anything. When the text finishes loading I get:

I am very new to Macs, this is my first one, so I need as much help as I can possibly get. Thanks in advance to whomever reads this cry of help.
