[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1780940, member: 396914"] Welcome to the forum. Nope, that symbol means there is no bootable device available. Either the drive has died (likely) or the files on the drive are corrupted and the system is unbootable because of that. You can try booting from an external drive and then use Disk Utility to first repair the internal drive, and if that fails, to reinstall it on the new drive you will have to put in it. You do have backups, right? [/QUOTE]
