i kenna like you hard disk failure, pictures and $300 gone. apple intards really sucks sometimes, i read lots of ppl harddisk fail after 1 1/2 years on their powerbooks!
when you restarted with the install dvd, you did hold down the 'C' key right? also try restarting while holding down the shift key.
was there any chime when you restarted?
is there any mouse cursor on the blank blue screen?
maybe try resetting the PRAM by restarting and holding down CMD-OPT-P-R. keep holding down the keys and let it restart 3 times. release the keys after the 3rd chime.
The mouse cursor is there on the blank blue screen ....
Never expect Mac to be so poorly built .... think it is only about 14 months old...
OK, Apple confirmed that the HD crashed! (only 14 months and not under warranty! and I thought Seagate gave a 5-yr warranty?...)doesnt sound like a hardware issue. did you recently update or install some software?
iShop? Good and bad... try Micro2000.

Though Apple's quality sucks but the service staff :thumbsup:
Sent my old ibook to Micro 2000 for warranty repair and they lost my battery. After a week of hassling them they finally admitted it was their fault and took another 2 weeks to get them to replace the battery. Service staff had a really bad attitude.
HDD failure is common among notebooks nowadays, especially with people doing more and more work with their portables, quality have not increase quantitatively, so its expected lar.
If you bring your notebook with you to take a bumpy bus/car ride, and use it during the journey 4 hours/day, 5 days/week, lol.
