[QUOTE="john21366, post: 710813, member: 64566"] I am new to this site, and am not sure where to look for the following... My macbook stopped working yesterday and ended up with a flashing '?' in a file logo. My small instruction book said put installation disk 1 into the computer and go to disk utility to select disk repair. I tried to do his but the only thing I could select was verify disk permissions - then it said first aid failed because there were no valid packages. I had selected the hard disk icon - but maybe it didn't recognise it? I just want to know what to do next... do I reinstall the system software? I am worried, as I have work on the computer not backed up! I use the macbook quite a lot, so was wondering if the computer had over-heated? I hope somebody can help... One thing, I checked the hardware - and that seemed to be OK. I had to choose a prefix - because the computer isn't working I'm not sure if it's 10.4 or 10.5 (as you can tell I'm not good with computers!) [/QUOTE]
