<< Hello, ever since my last system freeze, I get nothing but the flashing question mark. I even have a system CD in the tray, so I know that there is a good boot disk. Isn't the flashing question mark supposed to indicate that there isn't a good boot disk? Can it mean something else. Bad ram? My next step is to pull out everything but the original video card, CD drive, and dimm and see if I can boot that way. That's a hassle. >> It means your system can't find a hardrive to boot from. If you have a utility program (Norton Utilities), run it from the CD at boot-up. Hopefully you will get lucky and it can fix the problem. Otherwise you might be looking at a complete reformat. jeff S. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
