| Macbook won't boot up Hey there. So I'm having a few problems My macbook was really, incredibly slow last night, so I turned it off and tried to restart, except it stuck on the evil grey screen with the apple and the spinning loading icon. I left it for over an hour to see if it would load on it's own but it hasn't. I then asked around and someone adviced me to start up in singlaur mode (i think that's what it was) and type in; /sbin/fsck -fy and press Return. I copied the instructions exactly, but it hasn't done anything, it's as though it thinks I haven't finished. I left it for a while to see if it was doing something that I couldn't see, but still nothing happened. I was hoping someone could advise me what I could do to amend it?

| Have you tried to insert the OS DVD and choose to boot off from that when your computer starts up? Sounds like a hard drive problem to me. When you boot off the Tiger/Leopard DVD you have access to some utilities such as Disk Utility where you can check your hard drive for problems. Hope that helps.
