ibook G4 freezes while starting up

I was restarting in Safe Boot because my ibook was running slow and it took too long to reboot so I turned it off again. Now it doesn't start up. It goes through all the steps until the last screen: "Initializing Mac OSX", the status bar gets full and then it stays there all night! I did fsck -f and it repaired a lot of things, did it again until it said it was OK, but the same thing happens again. What else can I do?
 
Replace the hard disk and reinstall. I think the hard drive is dying a HollyWood style slow death.
