Easy just go to a apple store wherever you live and ask Mac-Professional ask him I'd like to buy MacOS X lion or unscrew your head (just joking) just unscrew under your iBook or Mac and replace the hard drive trust me this works I've been through the same thing but I fixed it
Hey guys, i have a similar problem. I have a imac 8,1 with 3 years old, this couple of months he's running slower than habitual, so i start to backup all i have, but more recente when i tried to restart when he crashs, the same happens to me (the folder with the question mark), so i install the system and still appear the "sign" when i restart the computer. Any ideas?? It's from the hard drive?? If i buy a new disk the problems will be solved??
I have the same thing, I would reinstall software on my imac but I don't know how, I put the disk in, and it just goes right to the question mark. I go to the command prompt, but I don't know the command start the disk up to install mac os 10 PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem with it is a blown hard drive, which is common with this model. There is two ways to fix this.
1: If you know a friend that has a MacBook, buy a hard drive and a hard drive enclosure, and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy his hard drive to your new one that you have purchased (off eBay?).
2: If you have a Mac OS X 10.6 MacBook or Retail disk handy or you are prepared to buy one, take off the casing on the old hard drive, put it on new one, put in computer, and install Mac OS X again
funny this happened to me,so I'm usin my iPhone until my Mac is fixed

I've read a ton about this. Typically, it's the hard drive that's about to fail that causes this.

Same problem here. Have checked the HD and it'd not the problem. I tjink it might be the ram but not sure...

@MrAntrikot If you reinstall software, do you lose all your data? Is it like "reformatting" on a pc?
