MacBook Pro (mid2009) won't boot
My mid 2009 MacBook Pro (snow leopard) won't boot up in any I can think of trying. Safe mode, single user, verbose mode, recovery mode, or using installation disc. It has been running a little slow lately and the other night it froze up and would not force quit. I had to power down using the power button. Once I restarted is seemed that anything I tried to do would freeze up and I would have to power down using the power button. I tried this a couple of times and then osx stopped booting. A day or so later I tried to boot in safe mode and it worked. I ran disk utility and didn't find any errors at all. Then about a half hour later it froze again and I haven't been able to boot in any way. I tried to use fsck with no luck. I borrowed my friends 10.6.3 install DVD and it loads and reads fine but after I select English as the language and continue I get an error message "Mac osx cannot be installed on this computer" and I have to restart. It won't let me use disk utility.
Does anybody know what could be wrong with cmy MBP ? I reset the nvram/pram. Can anybody help me get this computer to boot up so I can copy my HDD to an external HD ?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), Osx 10.6.(not sure)
