Ok my friends were messing around with my computer and set it to boot from a disk image I had open. This closed as the computer was restarting and therefore it had nothing to boot from.

Now I have a blank screen with some text saying insert a booatable disk and press any key...

I dont have my leopard disk but I have a Linux Mint disk which when inserted boots into a beginning menu but wont actually boot into Linux...

But I have the option to boot from a hardrive and I can write in the file path...

Anyone know the file path to boot up leopard from the harddrive?

Im on a 2 month old macbook!

Thanks!

You could zap the PRAM as that stores the boot choice and it should revert to the internal drive.

cmd+opt+p+r

Or you could try entering

/dev/disk0 or just disk0 or just /
