The problem in the video is that the notebook cannot find a bootable
drive. Boot from your CD (I hope you have a CD) and run the disk
utility. Hopefully it can fix your boot partition.

If you're lucky, you may only need to select Startup Disk, and select
your notebooks hard drive. I wouldn't be real hopeful this will be the
case.

Otherwise you may need to reinstall. Ugh, I hate even saying that.

I don't think so. If you have no Installer CD to boot from you will have
to get one. Maybe eBay or borrow one from a friend who has a Mac? You'll
need a CD with the same OS version you are (were) running or newer.

It's still possible that your hard drive is simply bad. Ouch. That will
suck. I take it you have no back up drive?

So many people have no back up drive... Until something like this
happens.

When you turn your machine on, can you hear a rhythmic loud clicking
coming from the drive? If so, this is bad, you'll need a new drive. If
everything sounds normal, you might be able to save or at least rebuild
the drive.
