Sometimes I have to power cycle the whole thing to get
it to boot, do
I'm thinking that the drive might be going bad.
If it doesn't boot when you first turn it on, you might not have let it
come up to speed fully. It takes a good 20-30 seconds to come up to speed
before you can turn the mac on. The drive light will turn on, then start
blinking steady, after about 20 seconds, you will hear the drive click a
whole lot, and the light will blink rapidly for about 2 seconds... after
that, it is up to speed and safe to turn on the Mac and try booting.
