If the engine won't turn and you hear nothing but grinding, pull the starter 
and examine the ringgear thru the hole where the starter was. You'll see any 
potential issues on the ringgear. If you think it's the ringgear turn the 
engine by hand to a spot on the ring gear that looks good and install the 
starter. See if it grinds or what?

Oliver:

How new is the starter? My inclination would be to do the starter first, just 
because it is so much easier than the ring gear. Besides, the starters seem to 
be the things that go first - couldn't tell you the last time someone had a 
problem caused by a bad ring gear.
Not saying that a ring gear can fail, but since it has no moving parts it seems 
to be the more reliable of the two.
