iBook Fault 2
Ok, well to carry on from my original post -Apple were only prepared to collect if an Authorised Dealer verified it wasn't a fault of the hard drive. They said they'd need it for 10 days (!!!!) so I took the other option of formatting my hard drive and reinstalling everything. I decided to do this after somebody helpfully said that it there 10.2.4 had caused this problem with some iBooks.
Well, I did this and then obviously had to reinstall all the system updates. I got them on disc as I only have a 56k internet connection. My iBook completely froze midway through installing the 10.2.6combi update. I had to restart and I got this error message everytime (with the grey background in which the Apple is normally on) telling me to restart, I decided that forcing a restart midways through a system update was bad - therefore I did a clean install again. Once the install had finished and the "Welcome" screen appeared the music which accompanies went really funny. The sounds on the system seem fine, but it couldn't handle the music for the welcome information section. (Somebody else on these boards had talked about a static boost on the speakers).
I'm just wondering if I should be worried that with all of these things going on whether its not just evidence of a greater problem, or whether things that should get better from here?

P.S. Having done the clean installmy hard drive isnow called '/'.I've repeatedly typed it as 'Macintosh HD', but after every restart it is back as '/', how do I rectify this?
