[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1234755, member: 11094"] Can't say for sure but those appear to point to a faulty or failing HD, though the possibility of a problematic SATA controller or cable would also explain the problems booting to the DVD drive as well. I'm thinking the drive might be OK but the communication to the drive is a hardware issue. There is mention of that error here: [url=http://www.cultofmac.com/how-to-fix-common-mac-startup-problems-macrx/50685]How To Fix Common Mac Startup Problems [MacRx] | Cult of Mac[/url] I'd bring it to an authorized repair shop.
