Weird mac non-start up issue
Holding Alt at start up gives me four options.
1 Current system
2 Old System
3 Install DVD
4 Windows Boot Camp
They're all on separate internal drives.
1 Current system lets me login and gets as far as displaying the desktop then either jumps back to the login screen again or crashes to a blue screen and the spinning wheel
2 Old System gives me the Grey screen of death at the apple logo
3 Install DVD gives me the Grey screen of death at the apple logo.
4 Windows boots fine
What's confusing is the that as Windows boots fine it can't be a hardware thing. But if it's a mac system software thing then surely the DVD should boot OK? And how come both system disks don't work suddenly and in different ways?
