Probably should have asked this before stripping out my hard drive - when I was using safari and MS Word at the same my mac froze with the familiar spinning wheel. keyboard wouldn't do anything and mouse wouldn't , the off button didnt do anything so switched off at wall.
When I restarted all I got was as far as the apple logo then it went to a blue screen This happened loads of time so tried to reinstall Snow Leopard. It went as far as about 28 mins then stopped with a big yellow triangle. This kept happening.
Ran disk utility/repair and it kept saying 'nodes' were unused needed repair and would then report a successful repair - but when trying to load OS it still stopped at 28mins.
Now am assuming a bad sector on hD so am replacing but is this the correct diagnosis? thanks
