[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 543685"] First, you'll have to find that restore disk because right now you might very well need it: some troubleshooting isn't generated by key combos and you need to start up from the restore disk that is an emergency volume, among other things. Did you try booting in [I]Safe Boot[/I] mode by holding the [I]Shift[/I] key? You could also reset the PRAM and see where that takes you: hold down the [I]Command[/I] + [I]Option[/I] + [I]P[/I] + [I]R[/I] keys and hold them till you hear five startup sounds, then let go.
