MBP woes - vicrock - 10-23-2008
Just tried to reboot my MBP - and now cannot get past the grey apple/pinwheel screen - stops there and goes black - anyone have any ideas what to try?

-safe boot (hold down shift key while booting), then try rebooting normally
-pull battery when powered down and let it sit for a few minutes
-try to boot from system CD or DVD
-reset PRAM
-run Applejack (if you have it installed)

Boots from DVD - have repaired permissions - verifying disc now
Tried pulling battery and letting sit - no change
Have not yet tried resetting PRAM
No Applejack installed
will try safe boot

OK - disc utility says
Invalid node structure
volume check failed
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed
Now what??

Disk Warrior or your external back up hard drive by holding down the Option key at Startup, and then choosing it for Startup.
