Hello all,
This is my first post on these forums.
I've been having an issue with my iMac ever since I put Windows 7 on a boot camp partition (BAD IDEA). I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I believe. Since today when I restart my computer I've had to hold the option key down to bring up the two operating systems. If I didn't do this it would show me the grey question mark folder. The problem now is, when I hold down the option key during boot up it just shows me the mouse cursor, but never brings up the two HDD images to try and boot from. I have tried to reset the PRAM multiple times with no success.
What can I do? I would like to get some files off it before I do a clean wipe and get rid of Windows. Should I use the Snow Leopard install disc to do some sort of repair? I don't have my disc anymore and would have to borrow one from a friend. Please help.
Thank you!
