[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 854459, member: 98520"] Based upon your symptoms almost certainly the HD has failed. You can prove this by ejecting the battery, undoing the 3 small captive philips screws, pulling out the 'L' bracket, then the HD by its white tab, the try starting from install DVD 1, the Macbook will boot the installer no problem. A failed Macbook HD can effect booting from a DVD, and can give a grey screen for some time. It's very easy replacing the drive. [/QUOTE]
