[QUOTE="sbeanz, post: 1622759, member: 338217"] Hi. I've obtained a macbook from a mate which she claimed no longer worked, and am currently trying to fix it. It originally did not turn on, so I obtained a macbook charger and it has now turned on. However, it gets to the apple logo and the spinning wheel and just goes no further. I've tried the following to fix the problem: - have tried running 'fsck' with numerous combinations. One of the combinations results in the error 'disk0s2: i/o error'. - I've also tried the '/sbin/mount -uw/' combination but it doesn't seem to fix anything. I'm not worried about trying to regain any the personal files on the PC, so a full reformat is fine, however, I do not own a mac os CD/DVD. Do I require one? Can you obtain downloadable old versions from apple or do all copies need to be purchased? I'm a windows PC user usually, so mac is new to me. Sorry if I've asked any silly questions. Details of PC below. Cheers, Sean Macbook A1181 2 GHz (C2D, Late 2006) MacBook 13" Product Version: 10.6.8 Build Version: 10K549 [/QUOTE]
