Does the hard drive mount when you boot from a CD and seem to work  
OK? Sounds like it does.

In that case, it maybe it can't properly read the operating system on  
the disk (may have been corrupted). This won't always show up with  
disk utilities. Have you tried re-installing the OS?

Good luck. I've got an iMac DV at home that won't boot (hit power  
button, immediately powers back off). I don't get to the point of  
hearing a chime even. I've got a few things to try tonight.

Seems (from various discussion boards) its been a bad week for Macs  
not wanting to start.
