[QUOTE="blackmac11, post: 1003866, member: 82344"] wow, that sounds odd... The hard drive is dead, that is for sure, but now it sounds like there are system problems too. You should be able to boot from the install disk no problem. Did they have a backup of the hard drive? If they did you could try just wiping everything and starting with a clean slate. Or take it to an apple store and see if they can shed some light on it. But maybe he could just buy a new computer rather than pay repair costs. It is a minimum of 6 years old and isn't really worth going through all of that trouble for... [/QUOTE]
