[QUOTE="technerd42, post: 1415383, member: 140081"] I don't know what prompted it, but the screen basically just displays the apple symbol and a spinning wheel. Safe mode does nothing. When I try to insert the OS X Install DvD that came with the computer, it just gets ejected after a few seconds. There's something wrong with the disk drive, but I've tried cleaning it and nothing seems to work. After cmd+V, these are the last few lines: [CODE]Bug: launchctl.c:3557 (23930):17: ioctl(s6, SIOCAFADDR_ING, &ifra6) != -1 Running fsck on the boot volume... Executing fsck_hfs (version disked_cmds-491.6~3) ** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume. ** Checking extents overflow file. ** Checking catalog file. Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing... diskOs2: no such device. Invalid sibling link (4, 22823) **Rebuilding catalog B-tree. diskOs2: media is not present. diskOs2: media is not preent. **The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired. diskOs2: media is not present.[/CODE] I'm not even hugely concerned about keeping all of my files, I just need the thing to work so that I can continue onward with my life. So, how should I deal with this? [/QUOTE]
