Hi there,
After a series of crashes, forced shut downs and other things, it seems that my MacBook has given up on life.
At first when turned on, it would become stuck on the loading page (where it says "starting Mac OS X"), but now it boots up and ends up on a UNIX command line. I can see the following on the command line; disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED). I understand that this means there is a problem with the hard drive, I have tried reparing it through the command line using "/sbin/fsck -yf" but I've had no joy.
I don't know what to do! There is no way out of the command line! Is there any way to boot from a disk via the command line? I figured I could try that in order to repair the hard drive via the Mac OS X install disk. If that isn't possible, is there anything else I can try? Or is my Macbook dead?
Any help with be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
