[QUOTE="njharrison1979, post: 1019747, member: 144994"] The mac just froze after trying to perform a task. It seems like it was happing every 30 secs and the wheel of death comes up (rainbow wheel). I was unable to do anything so had to switch it off via the switch on the back and then im faced with the annoying question mark and folder when started back up. Using the install disks I have got on to utilities but the disk doctor isnt picking up the hard disk after several restarts still nothing. I can here a short whirring (1-2 secs) noise then repeats this noise over and over. The freezing has happened multiple times and also the question mark folder. It sometimes picked up the HD but not all the time but now im stuck on the question mark folder and it doesnt seem to be finding the start up folder at all. [/QUOTE]
