[QUOTE="prettyinpunk, post: 758566, member: 44627"] it won't allow me to enter the login sequence, it simply boots up with a blank grey screen, then this folder appears. i don't mind if i need to reinstall everything. but is there any special procedures i need to follow (e.g. will the macbook allow me to enter a CD even if it's not loading up correctly? do i need to press a sequence of buttons? etc). i fear the file i downloading may very well have been a virus. so i guess reinstalling the OS will fix the issue. i could have almost broke into tears when it happened :( [/QUOTE]
