[QUOTE="blackscooby, post: 64995"] Wow you're up early ! Anyways, I seem to have sorted it. Left it turned off for a while, disconnected everything except the keyboard. Tried to boot whilst holding down shift and it failed again. Found my test hardware CD and took it to the MAC...... Booted fine. Would appear that the threat of testing the hardware has scared it into booting. Just running repair file permissions now. Once that is complete I'll run MacJanitor and clean the logs etc. Once that is complete I'll run the hardware test utility. Bit scary as I've turned from a Windows box person, to a Mac. I've said how good they are at work and a couple of my colleuges are looking into getting a 2nd hand iMac as well. Shame its just let me down ! Will report back in a bit. Cheers [/QUOTE]
