I have a macbook running OSX 10.5.5 that didn't want to load in to osx... First of all, when i turned on my macbook, it would just show the gray screen with either a "Prohibition Sign" or a flashing folder with a "?" on it. I entered the Mac OSX installer from a Boot Disc, and i realized that my home folder is renamed to "root", which I suppose is the problem (original name was MacMau). I did all the steps recommended by Ivan (thx btw =]) and I think it loads osx, but still, all I get is a blue screen with the mouse pointer on it, which i can move. But still, it doesnt load any users, or a Login window. I'm sort of a newbie at all this, so I would appreciate if any help would be given as if it were for a 10 yr old... thanks for taking the time to read my problem, and thx in advance for any help that can be provided. I really miss my computer and the delightful voice of Vicky telling me the time every half an hour.. xP Well, here’s my problem….
