I am unsure if my HD is on the dump or what but this is what happened the Macbook was working fine had Leopard installed everything was peachy! I go to shut down and restart in OS 10 and nothing, I hold down the alt key...my options are the mac HD and windows and I click MAC HD and nothing it is as if there was no boot record on the MAC HD or it became corrutpted! So I try all of the known options to decipher this and nothing. I figure I would tak a chance and hook it up via firewire to my friends G4 and everything comes up no pproblem I cn see my Mac HD and everything on it.
So ithen proceed to refire it back up to only be greeted by windows (boot camp was installed BTW), so I hook it back up via firewire and open disk utility and try to to run utility and it says there is no problem found and I cannot do a disc repair permission and it will not let me do that (grayed out). So at this point I decide to try and utilize my leopard install cd and to my surprise the CD will not even boot!!! I can select it if I power up and hit alt and hold it comes up but I cannot even start anything from it! It will not even give me an disk utilities! So I hook it up again via firewire and format my apple HD using GUIA and I have ignore ownership UNCHECKED, but still nothing! I am so frustrated right now the book is not under any apple care any longer but I have accomplished 2 things:
1. I have successfully lost all of may data on my HD
2. I have succesfully lost all my data on my protable HD as well
The above 2 items are being stated sarcastically cause I am so pisse right now, I really am not that concerned about my data I just want my Macbook working again can any one help? i thought it maybe the HD but when my OS X stop working it wouldn't boot, but I could boot into Vista WTF??? and then I completely reformatted and now I cannot do anything, does the mac OS have to be in play in order for the super drive to work or evn function, if it as the HD y would vista boot and not mac os x? Can any one offer any help? Please I am desperate to have my macbook working I do NOT want to go back to vista please!!!
