Good evening,
I'm here to ask for help. Suddenly my macbook suddenly stopped working, It wont boot the MAC OS at all, it stays on loading then turns itself off when failing.
Or usually boots into the disk utility menu automatically, I've tried everything I could find on google including some other threads in here.
I've been trying to create a boot disk on an external hard drive, so that I could install snow leopard (also tried normal leopard) on the hard drive again to make it boot but no luck.
Whenever I try to "restore it" using the disk utility that comes with the machine, it says "Resources are busy" or "I forgot the word is Invalid" no matter what I do, I tried highlighting the drive I was installing it on, I tried using my iphone as a USB drive with an APP i found, I used my normal 8gbs usb, also tried an external drive of 160GB all freshly format, into either FAT, NTSC or even format it with the disk utility it keeps telling me the same damn error whenever it tries to scan the DMG file.
Tried getting different DMG files but no luck either. I dont know what to do and I need that laptop urgently.
Oh forgot to mention the CD ROM is damaged so its not working it wont read the original disc that came with the machine hence why im not doing it that way
Ive tried lots of weird gimmicky hot fixes but no luck... any ideas? I also tried formatting the original HD but its "locked" so it wont let me delete it so i cant install the thing directly either it seems.
Help? Thank you in advance
