[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 552534"] Yep, LWC is right: the Mac is looking for a valid OS to boot from on a network. Hold down the option key, it should force your MBP to look everywhere else for its system. Once you gain access to your Mac, go to [I]System Preferences[/I] -> [I]Startup Disk[/I] (in the [I]System[/I] section) and select [I]Mac OS X, 10.4.x on Macintosh HD[/I] and you should be ok from now on. If ever a game setting changed that, you will have to go through this each time you play that game: it seems to mess up the System Prefs for some odd reason. [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] Oops! LWC added the same info in his post! Well you now have duplicate advice! Good luck! Let us know if all is well now! :) [/QUOTE]
