Seagate Causing MacBook Pro To Not Boot
Hello all,
I have a serious problem. I am supposed to be getting my client's business cards printed today, as well as do some online course homework. I went to turn on my MacBook and it stayed at the loading screen for an hour (the screen with the apple and circle loading thing).
I started looking up ways to get the computer to work. I tried booting holding the shift key. It got to the same point as normal boot. I let if run for 20 minutes. Still nothing. I then stried booting while holding "Command+S" This booted to the white letters. Everything began loading as normal... then came the bad.
I received the code saying:
com_seagate_IOPowSecCore overriding init
com_seagate_IOPowSecCore overriding init
com_seagate_IOPowSecCore overriding init
com_seagate_IOPowSecCore: No ValidUSBVendor found

Singleuser boot -- fsck not done

If you want to make modifications to files:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
If you wish to boot the system:
exit
:/ root#
I entered
:/ root# fsck -f
I then got the following
**/dev/rdisk0s2
**Root file system
Executing fsck_hfs (version deskdev_cmds-491.6-3).

What should I do? What does this com_seagate_IOPowerSecCore mean? How can I make it go away? I need some serious help. Please help me! I'm desperate! I tried just rebooting to no prevail. I need to find a way to remove this Seagate driver from my computer, but I can't boot up my machine, so how do I get rid of it? I can get to the black screen with the white letters.
Sidenote, my MacBook has started running quite hot lately, and I'm not sure why. I don't think there is any damage, especially after funning the fsck -f and everything chekcing out except for the Sleep prevented by SB 1, SS 0, AS 1.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), I believe I am running Snow Leopard
