I have an iMac (2007 Intel 20") that will not boot up past the apple logo and spinning wheel!? I was able to get into the system utilities and run a verify and repair that says it fixed the errors but still no further!!? Just did the hardware test through the utility disk boot up and got the above error message... What does this mean? Any info would be appreciated!!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Mende1's reply way well be right but it's always good practice to Google an error code (Mac error xxxxx) as now that the 'More like this' section appears to be lost, the number of different replies (mainly taken from old Apple Support columns) will increase your options. The 'Related articles' section, where there are some, should not be overlooked either.
What does error 4mot/1/40000003:hdd mean?
