hey Recently i had a kernal panic and had to wipe my hard drive clean and reinstal panther . Now i usualy turn off my monitor and leave the computer on when im sleeping so i can still be downloading things. But i woke up this morning and tryed to turn the screen on and i got no response. so i shut the whole computer down and started it back up. get to apple loading screen with little round thing and it stayed there for about 5 minutes then went to blue but no desktop. so i shut it donw again and did the same thing. again i got just the loading screen. so i shut it donw again took the battery out and turned it on again and its now been on the freaking apple loading screen for over 10 minutes . this is insanly frustrating as i just fixed my computer before and lost my entire HD in the prossess. Any help would be absolutey awsome. I have to go back to school next week and i need my computer for it. Im getting really pissed at it. I never had a problem (over a year) until recently when i had the kernal panic and now this. thanks

Have you tried to boot off of the OSX Cd Yet? See if you can at least get it to boot to the installer and go from there...
