[QUOTE="6string, post: 1084710, member: 120039"] It sounds like your HD has died, and without the install discs, you are not even going to able to get to disk utility, to verify and/or repair if possible. You need either the original install discs, or a retail version of Panther 10.3.7+, Tiger 10.4.x, or Leopard 10.5.x. You can not use a friend's grey coloured discs, as they are machine specific. Your best bet is to call Apple's online number, with your serial number at hand, and see if they can send you a set of replacement discs. If they have them, that should cost you somewhere in the region of $20-$40. Otherwise, you'll be looking at the $150 range for retail version install discs.
