[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1200535, member: 56379"] Sounds like your most recent OS install did not finish...that's why you got the flashing "?" icon. You said 10.6 wasn't a good upgrade for you before (HP printer problems)...then you reverted to 10.5...and 10.5 would run fine. Why did you try to upgrade to 10.6 again? Just to be sure...what sort of disk are you using to upgrade to 10.6? Is it a grey colored disk...or the "whitish" one with a Snow Leopard on it? As far as getting back to where you were before...I assume you were running 10.5. So you would have to get your OS 10.5 install disk...and do a 10.5 install. Or try using your 10.6 disk again. Finally...are there files or applications on this hard drive that you are afraid of losing (hopefully you have a backup)...or could you reformat it if you wanted to? - Nick [/QUOTE]
