Hello folks,
I have a 2-year old macbook that very abruptly quit working.
It froze on me and when I start it up, I get the blinking folder+question mark icon.
I attempted to do a disk repair through the install CD, but no such luck, it cannot find my hard drive.
The install CD also does not recognize my hard drive through the normal installation process.
When I attempt to start the computer in safe mode, I get the "panic" kernel error and have to restart.
When I attempt to access the hard drive through target disk mode on my roommate's iBook, it does not recognize the hard drive either.
Is there any other way that I can completely wipe out my hard drive and just reinstall? I am not concerned with needing to save any information - I just need to get my macbook working again.
Thanks so much in advance.
