Target disk mode?
Find, and boot from, the diagnostics disc

Aww shit... that was the last thing I saw before mine bit it. Target disk even a full install was rejected.

Sounds like the disc has failed, gor corrupted or got disconnected, run hardware diagnostics. Might be worth trying the drive in another machine
- georgesIII0
yep,
tried target disk, no go
tried Command + S key. no go,
I think the disc is dead, I may have to take a macbook pro appart,I'm smiling, I always wanted to destroy something beautiful

might be a harddisc crash. there was a program from apple which gives a free replacement, so don't open it!
