Comment: The little icon starts off with a little folder, then
changes to a flashing question mark inside the
folder, then changes to an icon of a floppy disk with
a little red dot in the lower left corner.What does the
little red dot in the corner of the floppy disk icon
mean?

Reply: (edit)Try booting from the cd and running disk first aid...if that doesnt work then try norton utilities....and if it still doesnt work try zapping your pram...(hold down the option,apple p and r keys before you hear the chime of the startup...keep holding it down until it reboots 3 times then let go (actually try that one first :) )...and if all else fails startup from your cd and do a clean install of your operating system...this will save your old system folder and all your files...:) andre

Reply: (edit)This is a form to help people, not pick on them because they are asking questions...i was just expanding on your method with a little more description...i have noticed your responses to others and they seem to be quite rude as well...this causes people to think twice before asking a question on this form...so, i ask and probably many other people ask for you to be a little less harh on those who are asking the questions...thank you...
