Hi, hope this is the right place.
A friend of mine has a Mac Pro, it started to run really slowly, so he rebooted it and only gets to the white/grey screen with the spinning 'clock'.
I've now got it to try and fix. I removed the HDD's, cleaned out a load of dust etc and booted. It got to the white/grey screen and displayed the folder with a ? in it. So power off, put in the HDD with the OS on it and fired up again..... It took ages to get through the White/Grey screen and got to a very light blue screen with a mouse pointer in the upper left corner.
I've reset the Pram, and whichever it is where you hold the power button of ages.
I put an OSX disc into the DVD drive and booted with no HDD's and it still refuses to load an OS at all.
Not sure on the machines spec, but its massive, twin processor, 4GB of ram etc. He said its only 2 years old.
Any ideas? As my googling has turned up not much of use/fix
Thanks
Stuart
