[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 393013"] The flashing world icon means that the Mac is looking for a valid system on a network instead of its own hard drive. The folder icon with a question mark means it can't find a working system to boot from. Do you still get those icons upon startup after the repair permissions thing? Quite frankly, Jaguar was a lot less stable than Mac OS X 10.3.x Panther was. I'd reinstall everything with the combo updates and all that. Just so the system would be all nice and fresh again. Just remember to unplug all peripherals that aren't necessary for the install procedure. [/QUOTE]
