Question Mark (flashing) in folder on Startup - OSX powerbook
I've got a powerbook 1.25 fw800 & when I try to boot it up, it comes up with a small folder with an alternating flashing question mark & the blue apple smiley face logo inside of it, but won't go any further. This has happened since I used my powerbook in Target Drive Mode to backup an OS 9 G4. We dismounted the drive properly we thought (trashed my disk before resetting my computer) but i still can't open my Pbook.
I've...
- run disk utility, verified & repaired permissions, but it won't verify & repair the disk due to it not registering as being dismounted
- reset the PRAM
Anyone had a similar problem? Thanks!!

It might come down to having to reinstall the system folder.
I'm going to get my hands onto Disk Warrior today and give that a shot... I can't be without my pbook for too much longer, it's killing me!
