Hello guys,

I guess I'm going to need your help again.

Model:
Macbook Pro 7.1 13"

Problem 1 (resolved):
Computer freezes on the loading grey screen. Would not boot in Safe Mode either.

Answer :
Boot the computer with Snow Leopard boot disk, holding the C button.

Problem 2:When trying to repair the hard drive through Disk Utility, receive message "Couldn't unmount disk". Tried to repair permission, erase disk, same message every time.

Backstory:
The computer has been taken to Apple Store & his geniuses in France. They were unable to find the problem.

So Basically, this is where I am. I think the Hard Drive is dead but I need to be sure. I'm ready to buy a new one (SSD), but if the problem is coming from elsewhere, it's going to cost me more.

I would like to have your take on it.

Thank you
