Won't boot

I have tried everything to start up my MacBook. I've tried Safe Mode, Resetting PRAM, Command+Option+O+F and everything else I found on the web, but all I get is the grey Apple and spinning wheel. I can't reboot using the CD either.



When doing one of the things I read (maybe CMMD + S) I did receive this message:

Can anyone help me? Thanks much!

    If you boot up holding the alt/option key, does it take you to a boot selection screen? If it does, you can boot the CD from there.

    The only real solution in that case is to get another disc or repair it in target mode with someone else's computer. I wish Apple would put their boot disks on an internal ROM so you can't ever lose it or have an issue. It would only need something like a 4-8GB chip soldered onto the motherboard at manufacturing costing < $10.



    Naturally there are security implications with this but with proper encryption in the OS, it shouldn't really matter. Lion already has a 750MB recovery partition utility but it's on the boot disk, which isn't much help if the boot disk system is corrupt as it's not likely to be an installer at that size.
