[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 909199, member: 99551"] In addition to the comments from chscag, from the error you are seeing it looks like someone installed Windows via Bootcamp and the installation became corrupt or was removed. As a result, the machine can't get to a valid operating system to boot. I agree with chscag, at the very least buy a SL install disk. The machine you have is fairly 'new' and should work properly barring any unforseen hardware issues. As a test, you may want to try something: 1) Reboot the machine 2) As the machine is coming up (before you get to a grey screen), hold down the 'option' key. If BootCamp was installed you may be given a choice to boot into Windows or the old OSX installation. Again, this is only a test to see what was done to the machine before hand. I would definitely buy a SL disk, clean the machine and do a complete reinstall. [/QUOTE]
