[QUOTE="hagios1972, post: 554989, member: 26120"] Well, I called Apple Care in NZ and the guy that greeted me is in California. Here is what he had me do. 1. Start up with Installer Disk 2. Open Utilities > Disk Utility > Macintosh HD 3. Repair Disk It turned out that my Macintosh HD is okay so repair is not necessary. 4. Continued with the installation 5. Under Installer Menu > Choose Macintosh HD 6. Restart I asked what caused the flashing question mark and from what I gather on what he said - the MacBook cannot find the start up disk. On the issue of deleted files not being in the Trash Can, he asked me to delete a file which I did and I was able to empty it. It worked this time. Hmmm, I wonder where the files I deleted yesterday went. Well, this is my Boxing Day experience.:) [/QUOTE]
