I encountered an issue with a flashing folder with a question mark when I start my macbook pro. I searched it online on how to fix it, they said we can fix it in recovery mode. I did the exact same thing but does not seem to work. On my internal disk it said I have a "Macintosh HD" and a disk with "noname". Can anyone help me to fix this?

Since you've done some research I assume that you realize this error means that the Mac cannot find a valid OS, This could be due to something as basic as directory structure errors or something more serious such a failing / failed hard drive.

What Mac is involved?
What version of Mac OS was on the Mac? That will help us determine the best way to fix this issue.
