Ha, I'll be at that store on the Monday. Good times...
EDIT: I think I'll rely on the warranty first

Some of the ideas offered so far could certainly solve the problem...so if you get a chance to pursue any of them before Monday...go for it. Otherwise it may be easier the let the folks at the Apple Store look at it so you don't continue to "run in circles" trying to figure it out.
If the Apple Stores in Scotland work the same as they do here in the US:
- they should probably have you in & out the same day (no problem)...maybe even in less than an hour depending on the issue.
- since you don't have any OS install disks...if the OS install is the issue...I'm pretty sure they would have no problem reinstalling the OS for you
- while you're at the Apple Store...DEFINITELY buy the £25.00 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk:
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (UK)
Also...if you're going to go to the Apple Store on Monday (I'm assuming Glasgow, but maybe there's one in Edinburgh)...go online & make yourself an appointment with an "Apple Genius".
Good luck,
