The newer machines don't come with a DVD disk. Boot up holding down the "r" key to run a repair on the hard drive.
Was this answer helpful?
Held down 'r' on boot up-nothin. No F-key or command?
ok-used w/ command-we'll see....*fingers crossed* and thnx 4 tip ;)
okay- recurring issue w/ 250GB TOSHIBA MK2555GSXF Media-is that HD? Says cant repair= backup, and restore. ?
Probably just the ribbon connecting the hard drive to the logic board died and needs replacing.

Why did you replace the logic board and track pad? Sounds like damage to the HD, try booting from the Install Disk.

Logic board was bad, then trackpad didnt work so I also replaced but never worked so used mouse til this happened, thot must be battery so replaced that and takes a charge well, starts up, HD & fan start, apple spinning icon w/ load bar starts goin then just shuts off??
