catastrophe! help!
Argh. I’ve broken my MacBook. It won’t boot up. This is not merely annoying, it’s a bloody catastrophe. It was my own fault (of course). I bought some software which plugs into iMovie which didn’t work wth the current version of Quicktime I had installed. So I degraded my quicktime installation. I tried to do it by downloading and installing an older version and my mac told me I couldn’t do it because I had a more recent version. So I installed another program which would force it. Then I rebooted and it won’t go past the apple screen with the little loading icon. Doh!
I have another mackbook next to it and mine boots as a firewire drive, recognisable to the second. I bought DiskWarrior and have been trying that, using my macbook as the target drive, but the bloody thing still isn’t working. I tried installing Apple’s Leopard combo update onto my macBook and it now goes one screen further on before hanging. It goes blue, but doesn’t quite get to the login.
Are there any mac gurus reading this who can suggest what else I could try?

You could phone Apple in London for advice. Do you know my son recently lost a year and a halfs work on his apple mac pro I could have killed him cos I’d bought him a hard drive weeks before hand to save all his work onto. And had he? No. Boys…
