Cannot boot Mac mini (intel, 2006, 10.6.8)

Hi,


I have Problems with my moms Mac mini. she said thaz there was some update message and after restarting it won't boot.


When I push the power button :


  1. Folder with question mark shows for half a second
  2. Then the Apple logo with the spinning wheel.
  3. No Startup chime
  4. It stays like this forever


  • I tried to enter safe or verbose mode. Nothing happens.
  • I opened the mac, took out the disk and it booted up without a problem via USB on another mac.


Any new Ideas what I can do to solve this issue?


Thanks for your help

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Intel, Core Duo 1.6, 1 GB RAM
