[QUOTE="krs, post: 1818578, member: 67742"] I use a Mac Mini as well so I'm interested in this situation and possible resolution. As to the hard drive being damaged, that is possible, but the Mini start up sequence doesn't get anywhere close to the hard drive loading the OS. With the light coming on, the fan coming on, but the start up chime not - seems like the Mini is stuck at BootROM initialization.
