[QUOTE="jonnygrim, post: 904009, member: 120086"] Hi, Im hoping for a bit of help with a problem I have with my Macbook. Ive got a white Macbook Intel 2.0GGhz Core 2 Duo, 2Gb, 80Gb, DVD-CDRW with 10.5 installed. I was using the day before yesterday and shut it down that evening. I booted it up yesterday to find that it had a white screen with a flashing folder that has a question mark on it. I spent the whole day trawling through forum after forum trying to find an answer. If i take the hdd and plug it into my imac as an external hdd - i can see the data and pull it all off fine. Ive reset the pram, I can't boot off CD, that does nothing. If i hold alt down on boot it shows up a white screen with a black cursur. Ive changed the hdd, - same. Ive formatted the disc with my imac and installed the os on it but as soon as I put it into the macbook the same thing happens white screen flashing folder with a question mark on it. Ive now hit a stump, the new hdd with 10.6 works and boots fine on my imac but I cant get the macbook to boot up. Any help would be greatlay appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
