Galaxy S will not boot past the "Galaxy S" screen on startup

Hi Everyone

This is my first post so i hope its in the correct section

my Galaxy S will not boot past the "Galaxy S" screen on startup. I have read several posts with the same problem and I have tried all suggestions that I have come across. Here is what I have tried so far:

1. Removed battery and sim card for several hours - no change
2. Went into recovery mode (volume up + power + home button). Received a "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp1 (No such file or directory)" and "E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD: copy default media content failed." error messages.
3. In recovery mode, performed a "wipe data/factory reset" to restore the phone back to default - still no change

Do i need to send my phone back to Samsung or take it to a phone shop? or can it be sorted at home?

Is it a I9000M? If so i had the same problem and my internal sd card was curropt! You could try flashing your stock rom via odin!
