Open Question: My mac won't turn on...what should I do now?

4:25 PM Posted by Nadim

My macbook (old version) hasn't been able to turn on lately and so I tried the following technique from this website: http://creativetechs.com/tips/tip_resources/PocketMod/MyMacWontStart.pdf

1 Hold down Command-S while you turn on
your Mac. You should see a black screen
with white text. Don’t panic.
2 At the prompt type: fsck -fy
3 Press return. If you receive the message
“File System was Modified,” repeat step 2
until it says “No problems were found.”
3 Type reboot and hit return.

I didn't get the same message as an outcome and here is a picture of what my screen looks like right now...

Please help!

How do I fix this? Should I just type reboot like the instructions say?

Ps. Other information is that I currently have a Mac OS X Install Disk in the computer, which is why it says that.

Thanks!
