[QUOTE="Spiderzmobile, post: 1359051, member: 234678"] [b]Ditto on the last[/b] I also have been having this problem for the past few weeks. I would turn on my Mac, it went to a white screen, the spinning wheel never came up, after 20 - 30 seconds it went to a Black "MSDOS looking" screen saying "No bootable device - insert boot device and press any key". After talking to my Son he advised me to hold down the "Option" Key while starting it gave me the opportunity to select the MacHD. After dealing with this for a little while, searching the net; finally, while looking around in the Settings, I see "Startup Disk", opened it up and selected the MacHD, rebooted, and that fixed it.:D [/QUOTE]
