Hello everyone,

I have a 27" iMAC which I have been using for awhile. A few months back, I managed to set up Boot Camp successfully on the iMAC and been using the Windows OS for that period. Whenever I turn on the computer, I will definitely hit Alt/Option key, type in the password and select the Windows Hard Disk to boot up in. I'm finally done with my personal project and wanted to go back onto my Snow Leopard OS. Lo and Behold, whenever I select the Mac Hard Disk, the grey Apple logo with a loading sign appears and the problem is this screen is a permanent one. So I would like to seek your help in assisting me to solve this problem.

In addition, I tried inserting the CD and booting from the CD by pressing 'C' but I still get the grey apple and loading icon. I also tried restarting in safe mode(Hold down shift mode) but that didn't work either.

I will gladly provide any details if there is a need and also perform any actions that you recommend. Thank you everyone for your help.
