Hi
I have a complete Noob question and im not too technically minded, but any help would be great.....
I Have an iMac and if i remember right it was running MAC OSX 10.4.. standard software that it came with. I Had an issue a couple of days ago where i had a flashing Folder with a question mark inside on start up. I googled it from my ipad and it said it was a problem where the Mac couldnt find the start up disk, and to rectify the problem, hold the "Option" key while the mac is Booting.
This worked the First time, it again happened last night. I tried the Option Key again but this time it didnt work, I jumped on the Apple website which told me to insert my Start up Disk CD that i got with the MAC, problem is i cant find it....
The questions i have are...
1. Am i able to buy/replace the start up disk CD?
2. Can i just buy OSX leopard or Jaguar instead and install that?
Once again...sorry for the noob questions and thanks for your help in advance
