[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 328030, member: 21285"] I had a similar experience, and it turned out that my hard drive was dead. :( It was still under warranty, and was a quick fix, but still a huge pain. I lost all of my datas. What I did to find the problem: Let your MacBook boot to the installer. Don't run it yet though. I just went into disk utility, and my hard drive was no longer on the list. That let me know that my hard drive wasn't being recognized, and was dead. Hopefully that's not your problem, so good luck. [/QUOTE]
