hate to say this but this is why, even though I like my wireless
Apple Al. keyboard, I still keep a wired keyboard and mouse tucked
away in a corner for doing startup diagnostics.
Thanks again Peter,
Yes, I have tried several times now but still no change to the
screen(have continued to hold down cmd-V for uotp 2 minutes). I
have now realised that there already is an iPod Touch DVD in the
slot and I cannot release/eject this disc as my wireless keyboard is
not connected to the machine?! I have now tried removing all cables
and turning off the power at the wall and then relaunching with the
power button depressed as I plug back into the mains socket(as
proposed on the Apple support site) but still to no avail! This is
not looking too good!

Still have the start up screen with the spinning countdown wheel.

In the absence of see what you're doing, I have to ask: are you
holding down cmd-V until the UNIX text appears, or simply holding
and releasing immediately?
If, after holding down cmd-V for up to 30 seconds or so the UNIX
test has not appeared, try booting from your Leopard DVD and
repairing permissions and/or the drive itself.
