Ok so i keep reading that to boot from the cd/dvd hold the "C" while booting, this not do anything for me. I then tried to hold "ctrl+alt+shift+delete" seemed to do nothing then i hit "F1" and then the "ctrl+alt+shift+delete" again then the "F1" not in any order just randomly hitting them hoping to get something, well this screen came up

Your Mac's Specs

From the looks of it...if you get a folder with a question mark...that means that it can't find the OS. Which means something is wrong with the HDD.

Have you just tried holding down the alt/option key?
