[QUOTE="zhkeyes, post: 951090, member: 133280"] Forum Newbie here... I've had my mac desktop for about three years now without any problems at all. About 3 weeks ago things started failing. 1st the a disk become stuck in the hard drive. The computer now cannot "find" the disk burner. I thought I'd have some free time today to sit down and try to figure it out. I tried rebooting in safe mode but still the computer cannot find the hard drive. When I tried to reboot in normal mode the compuetr started up, but shut down before getting to the welcome screen. I tried again, same thing, a third time, same thing. I tried unplugging the power for a while and then tried again...nothing. Any ideas? Im trying to avoid going to the apple store between now and the end of the year anticiapting the lines and crowds. Any way to use my macbook to fix the desk top? Thanks....:Grimmace: [/QUOTE]
