hi Peter
did you try to put in the original system disk (that has the
osx.tiger on it) then start again but holding the c key down, then
from a pull down menue you can select diskutility which would allow
to test your internal harddisk
if you mac does not boot from the disk you may have a serious
hardware failure which is an expensive exercise to repair
to remove the disk again you may have to hold down the eject button
for a few seconds for a forced eject....
do all this above with powerpack plugged in!!!!

Hi my name is Peter Phillips,
My father (Rob Phillips) has been a long time member of this
mailing list.
My wife and I use a 2.4 ghz Macbook pro, Late 2007 I think. We are
running OSX 10.4 with the latest software updates, I cannot
remember the version number. With the standard 2G of RAM it came with.
We do a lot of video and sound editing work, using final cut studio
2, work off two external 1TB hard drives one is in a usb enclosure
and the other is in a firewire 800 enclosure. We have not changed
or upgraded any hardware recently, I had a look at the memory a few
months ago.
We currently live in China, but my wife is goin on a 3 week trip
home to perth in 2 weeks for 3 weeks, and could take the computer
to a mac shop there, our apple care plan expire in july.
