Mac mini unbootable, white screen appears
I am under mac recently (3-4 months) and only now I meet my first big concerns (that could not last, it was too good).
Last night, I had the misfortune to turn off my Mac mini (I almost never turn off since I) and from more way to jump start!
When I power, it makes me white screen with apple and the hourglass running endless ...
I tried to Apple + ALT + P + R to start, it's okay, pull the plug, wait 10 seconds then put the food in pressing power ... but nothing happens.
Still happy that I have an old laptop to call for help.
If you have seen or heard of this kind of problem, I expect your help.
Thank you in advance.

Are there any orders style backpack that I can make room on the disk via command line?

Connect your mini firewire cable to another mac, and to boot into target (T key support at startup), this will allow you to access your disk from the other computer, and and empty and repair permissions ...
