Hey, I recently had a problem with my comp and after a few troubleshooting attempts it's still stuck. What happens is my comp boots regularly at first, but when it hits the "Boot from CD/DVD" section the cursor blinks a few times like it's going to continue, then disappears and the computer progresses no further.
Leading up to the problem:
When I startup sometimes one of my fans, be it HD or regular, makes a loud noise and the only way to fix it is to restart. The other day I started up, this happened, and I did a hard shutdown. Immediately after this, the problem started happening so I'm not sure if the problem is an improper shutdown, or maybe a virus? My MacAfree ran out a few weeks ago so I guess that's a possibility as well. Either way, the comp was working pretty perfectly before the hard reset.
The only things I've really tried is recovery console and chkdsk /r there. Please, any help/info would be greatly appreciated, as I feel this may be a small problem and I just don't know the fix atm.
Thanks,
~Wes
