Something is really wrong with my Macbook

[Muscle Master]

Okay..

I have a SSD/HDD problem.. I can't boot anything

So I boot the install disk attempting to repair my SSD but it failed and wouldn't unmount.. okay..

So I reach for my stock HDD (OS installed) and attempt to boot into OSX but nothing comes up.. been stuck at the grey screen for years

Okay.. now I attempt to secure erase my SSD via Gparted but I can't get any CD to boot except the OS install disk

So now I attempt to repair my stock HDD but it failed and would't unmount.. so what the hell is going on?

I don't know whats going on but I would suggest hitting up the Genius Bar. Especially if its new, they'll probably replace it or really work on helping you out with your problem.

That's my last resort becuase.. I had a optibay, and now I misplaced some of the screws thats in there.. so what If I was to take it in with about 3 screws.. would they void my warranty?

Possibly, it's really up to Apple at that point. To be safe I would remove all modifications and make the thing look as stock as possible. If you make a reconnaissance trip to your local Apple Store or AASP I'm sure they will give you some replacement screws.

Which screws? the screws to the bottom cover? or all three screws that went with the Optical drive? if it's those three screws they might, Not sure.

If it's just the bottom cover screws then nah, tell them you replaced the RAM and lost the screws, they can't say anything.

I had the same issue back in Fall 2008...

No mods. Shut my computer down the night before after working on an English report.

Turned it on the next morning at an indefinite gray screen. Popped in my disk, still wouldn't boot.

Brought it to the Apple Store that afternoon. Motherboard was fried. Replaced HDD just in case.

Sucks, doesn't it?

Not to be harsh, but it sounds like these problems are your own doing. Carelessly mucking around inside the machine, losing parts, etc. Next time consider having a professional do the work.
