[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1622711, member: 131855"] From the sounds of things I suspect the hard drive is failing / has failed. Since you have already tried the fsck route with no luck my next step would be to attempt to boot from a boot CD/DVD. If it can boot at least you know the machine itself is probably OK even if the hard drive still produces errors. This also gives you a way to format a new hard drive if one is needed. The Snow Leopard sac can be purchased from Apple online. AFAIK it is not available in the brick and mortar stores. If you are in the US the disc can be purchased [URL="http://store.apple.com/us/search/Snow-Leopard---Mac-OS-X-10.6"]here[/URL]. Outside the US do a search in the Apple site for your country. [/QUOTE]
