Ouch, this means you let your disk get to full (you want at least 10% free disk space on ANY system) As for another way to boot, hold "OPtion" on start, the evokes the Start up manager, then the disk should appear. But better yet, if you have another Firewire enabled machine use it and boot this machine in Forewire Target Disk Mode, clean off files and then try booting. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
