Ok so this is my problem!
Mac Book Pro - just updated my hard drive to a 320 gig 7200.
My old drive crashed twice & i heard funny noises. So to be safe i replaced it.
It still was working.

Installation went great.
Started installing Leopard from scratch, then all my software & up dated everything.
When I started installing StormDrum2 it installed and asked for the 2nd disk. But it would not eject the first? And it was no where to be found on my desktop to even drag it into the trash???

So I had to restart and then I put in the second disk and started the installation process again for SD2. Then when I went to restart it would not boot.

All i got was the grey screen with the Apple sign and the circle. (Not the color one)
I tried everything to get it to boot from the DVD drive using the Leopard dvd.
Still wouldn't do anything???

Finally it booted, I used utilities to scan and repair. Tried to restart again and still the same problem.
The system was running fine yesterday now it won't even boot???

Hard drive seems to be working but it won't boot?
Any advice??
Please help!

thanks
