[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 921011, member: 8287"] I agree with the others that 10.5 on that hardware is not a good idea. But that is not the issue here. It really sounds like your hard drive died to me. You hold down C at boot and get that menu? That menu if is brought up holding down OPTION at boot. Are you using an Apple keyboard? The first thing here is to get the machine to boot from the OSX CD/DVD and run Disk Utility and see if the drive is shot or even shows up at all. That blank menu with the arrows tells me that drive is dead. [/QUOTE]
