[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1616487, member: 110816"] Welcome to Mac-Forums.. The fact that you are getting the question mark and all that means your process is fine. If not, you wouldn't have gotten anywhere near that.. The question mark usually means that you don't have an OS installed and the fact that you were doing an upgrade might mean that you froze and had to shutdown during a crucial point and as such have lost the data on there.. However, its strange that you say you can boot that HD on another machine, you might want to confirm it really is your machine by ensuring that your data shows up on that machine.. As long as you had anything beyond Snow Leopard, there is a Recovery Partition put on your HD by the OS and hopefully that didn't get messed up during your broken upgrade. Try activating that by holding CMD+r during the power-up and see if you can get into the Recovery console. From there, you can download a copy of OS X (the one that launched the recovery console) and install it and then do the upgrade later.. [/QUOTE]
