Ok I got this old mac, its from 2001 and I think it has about 1 gig. I was trying to change the screensaver on it and I had already changed it with no problem, then later I wanted to change it again and had double clicked it and it seemed to just sit and think for too long so I went ahead and 'forced quit' and then tried again with the same result, so I let it sit and finally a window came up and said I needed to delete some files from the start up disk, so I looked up how to get to it and it said to click the apple icon and select 'system preferences' and open it up, so I did, it then asked me to choose three options to restart the computer with and I randomly picked one and the computer restarted and it now only shows a floppy disc icon with a blinking question mark. Nothing I press on the keyboard will do anything, did I kill my mac or something? I hope I didnt lose everything on it, any help would be appreciated.
Its an IMAC os 10, I think its a panther and I'm not 100% sure, we've put in a startup disk and the icon is now a computer with a smiley face and it's been sitting for an hour but thats it and the keyboard does nothing still.
