MY MACBOOK WONT BOOT FROM CD

Hey everyone.


Here is a problem.


I have purchased a macbook pro with snow lepoard and it was working perfectly.I am using it mostly for music production and i had 2 or 3 big software programs running at the same time and it was also working perfectly.So in the process of music making,my software froze and it started to behave wierdly enough,for me to restart my mac on a power button,BECAUSE IT DID NOT WORK WHEN I TRYED TO FORCE QUIT SOME SOFTWARE.When i did that,the problems began.First it startet to load it self and just got stuck on a apple sign and the little cyrcle is loading for hours and does not open my desktop.Than i tried to boot it from my original CD and the sounds that i hear from a CD harware is some beeping clicking noise and even if i hold the C button it does not start from CD.I have made an IMAGE of my system to the desktop so i can use it in DISK UTILITY and reinstal from an Image if my CD would not work.The problem is that i can not even get to disk utility from a start up or maybe i do not know how to get there.I have an internet recovery and it is the only option that my mac accepts and i mannage to get to disk utility through internet restore system,but when i get there it does not show the image i made on my desktop.So the CD wont start,disk utility does not recognize the image i made.It only shows my hard disk and the internet restore image.But even when i try to do that it does not like ,have suppport for lepoard.only LION to MAVERICKS.Than i tried to do the harware test with a restart and holding D key and still it will not do the hardware check also ,it just stays grey and than loads the apple logo and stays there for hours.Than i went again on internet recovery and i mannaged to do the permisions test and disk repair AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE O.K.At least my mac say so.There is not any problem with the disk or permissions.SO it is crazy that it seems everything is working,but still wont open my desktop.Now i cant run it or boot it from CD.I need to get to disk utility to get to the image i made on my desktop to reinstall my OS X.I can only get there through internet recovery ,but like i said,it wont recognize image i made.CAN I LIKE COPY A CD TO USB DRIVE AND TRY TO BOOT IT FROM MY USB KEY.Thank you anyone for an answer and sorry for my english wrighting mistakes.

Hello.


Sorry for late reply.


I was using snow leopard 10.6..I have tried everything that you replied.Thank you for that.But it did not help,because my hard drive had some serious issues and i had to take my macbook to servis.

There they said, that they found multiple errors on my hard drive and so, they replaced my hard drive with new one and installed OS X MAVERICKS on the new one.Now it is working perfectly again.

I still have the old hard drive and i will send it to apple ,if they could fix it.It is wierd that everything was working fine ,until this very day.Actualy it was the first crash in 3 years and it crashed so hard ,i had to change my hard drive.But wierd part is,that i never had any issues before and all of the suden my mac has lots of errors...

Anyway,thaks for your help...
