Hello all,

I have a problem which developed with my Macintosh classic. When I switch it on it will only show a grey screen with the mouse pointer (which you can move around the display)?? I have only managed to get it to boot a floppy with system 6.3.3 so this rules out screen problems and floppy problems. Any ideas??

Also, it only went wrong recently when I opened a program. The screen froze and the watch pointer appeared then the screen became all scrambled so naturally I switched off the machine, upon rebooting I noticed the CRT turned on very quickly and the HD spun and then stopped after about 2 seconds. The HD does seem to turn but it doesn't keep turning to boot from.

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance
