[QUOTE="cctster, post: 1509152, member: 299857"] Hi, Well looks like the MacBook is well and truly sick. Can't get into single user mode. There's a whole heap of code but unfortunately there are plenty of what looks to be error codes. The most significant IMHO are the following: [I]hfs_mountroot failed: 5 Cannot mount root, errno = 19 dsk 0s2: I/O Error 0 [level 3] [Red UID 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [Err type IO] [ErrNo 5] [IO Type Read] ...... [/I] There is quite a lot of this stuff. In the end, there is no command prompt just: [I]Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/release_I386 System model name: Macbook5,2 (Mac-F22788AA)[/I] Then it tells me the uptime in nanoseconds I'm guessing the hard drive here is gubbed. Am I correct, and if I am is it a simple swap and reload the OS as in Windows PCs or do I have to buy a hard drive from Apple? Regards, Neil [/QUOTE]
