As it says in the question my Macbook Pro wont go past the loading screen. I have followed the suggested tips online to rectify the problem and it has not fixed it. I have been able to load the boot screen and it has given me the option of reinstalling the operating system but when I select it, it comes up with an error. I'm currently running Mountain Lion so I don't know if that makes a difference. I was able to install Mavericks but I didn't so am unsure if that makes a difference. Please help.
Got a tip for us?

They've had a silver finish since the powerbook days in 2001. It'd be nice if you could be more specific.

And tell us what that says.
It runs Mountain Lion/Mavericks, so I'm assuming it's a unibody (quite possibly a 2009 Unibody)
It sounds like your hard drive has failed.
It sounds like your hard drive has failed.
If the hard drive has failed, it needs replacing.
You have 3 choices
1. Replace it yourself. It's actually very easy.
2. Pay someone to replace it for you.
3. Buy a new computer.
1 and 2 are not overly expensive. 3 costs a lot of money.
