Hi,
So I turned on my 13" MacBook Pro this morning as usual and once it got to the white screen with the apple logo and the wheel spining the progress bar appeared under it. It then took about 3 minutes to boot (usually does it in about 60 seconds). After logging in I couldn't get connect to any wireless networks, it wouldn't get an IP 'Airport is connected to (network name) but doesn't have an ip' (something like that).
Even after rebooting it still takes a long time.
I ran Disk Utility's 'Verify Disk' and it reports that there is an 'Invalid Sibling Link'. So I booted off the Snow Leopard CD and ran Repair disk through there. However it doesn't complete saying it 'Can't Repair Mac HD - backup as many files as possible, reformat and restore the files' (something like that). However when I go to install Snow Leopard it can't find my Mac HD, only my Windows partition.
Its about 5 weeks old, all stock hardware and under AppleCare.
Should I take it into a Apple store's genius bar?
edit: Another thing to note, about a week ago I got a kernal panic upon shutdown. ("You need to restart your computer"). Hasn't happend again though.
edit2: When I tried to install the diagnostic tools from the AppleCare cd halfway through it stopped and said that it couldn't install because it couldn't find the correct fine. However it installs on my iMac fine.
Thanks,
Chris.
