Well, when I reboot my macbook instead of an apple logo I get a folder with a ? mark in it. I just give it a few extra seconds and it seems to find it and then the apple logo pops on the screen. It really isn't that big of a deal, however, if there is a way to fix it (other than re-formatting), I'd like to learn how.

I think i made this problem when I reinstalled a Dell SP1 copy of windows XP which worked quite well actually.

Thanks,

Alex
