Hi,
I have problem with my IMAC boot. I get gray screen and rotating wheel and does not boot. I tried to use MAC OS DVDS, boot it and use disk utility, but disk utility just see the hard drive in pale gray and it is not active. I tried to use Diskwarrior (DW), boot it and then that also could not see the hard drive!. The strange thing is that I have bootcamp, and I can boot by XP, and then I can see my Macintosh hard disk and all my files!!!! this to me means, that hard drive and file system should be OK, but for some reasons, it can not booted and accessed by MAC ... How can I solve this problem? is there anyway to do from XP (bootcamp), or DW DVDs ...? Please help. Thanks
