[QUOTE="Buzzard2010, post: 1146822, member: 176415"] The flashing ? symbol in the folder means it can't find the OS, usually it means that there is a problem with the OS, if there are no files of yours on it I would just go ahead and format the HD and re-install the OS from the install disc. Alternatively (and hopefully not) it could mean the HD is damaged and you need a new one. I would try the first option though - Simon [/QUOTE]
