iBook powers up, but to gray screen and nothing more?

My moms iBook G3 powers on, but comes to a gray screen with the rotating circle and never proceeds any further. It done this once before and I reset the PRAM which seemed (at the time) to have fixed it, but now we are back to square one again.

The iBook is a 12" 800mhz w/ 256 mb RAM. If more info would help, let me know and I'll try to get it ASAP.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Start up from your system installation disk and go to the second page pull down menu Utilities - Disk Utility and see if you can repair your hard drive. If the hard drive fails to show it will need to be replaced.
