blah worst luck suppose you can back everything up at least.

Ended up reformatting and reinstalling Snow Leopard, currently transferring everything back over and installing important stuff. Effort!

All fixed and happy days with the format ?

Yeh cheers, been away this weekend so haven't had much time to get everything installed but it seems ok now

Mine did this, then it would make odd noises, then it took ages to wake from sleep, then it took many attempts to get it to boot up and then finally it wouldn't boot at all. The HDD failed and it's currently at Apple being replaced. According to them it's a very common problem and even though mine is under warranty they said they would have done it out of warranty anyway as it happens a lot.

Disk Utility or the Apple hardware test never showed any problems for me either which is odd, as it was clearly failing.

Is yours a WD HDD?

No it's a Hitachi, touch wood it's ok at the moment...
