[QUOTE="dawson1112, post: 1477908, member: 264710"] at start up hold the option key and see if it will show the hdd. It would help to know what model mac you have and what OSX your running... The flashing folder with "?" in it means its not seeing a bootable disk... Or the boot sector has been corrupted possibly during a failed update , a bad drive ... etc etc It could be a simple matter of repairing the boot sector of that drive . If you had lion installed it will have a recovery partition [/QUOTE]
