Since sometime not long ago, every time I turn on my MacBook I get the white display with the Hard Drive icon in the middle. I have to explicitly click on it for Mac to start booting into Tiger. I have only one hard drive, one OS installed, and no external drives connected. What should I do to make Tiger boot up automatically?

Thanks.

Try going to System Preferences > Startup Disk and making sure your internal drive is selected.

Same problem in Leopard

I'm having this same issue in Leopard. There are two options in the startup preferences, the local hard drive and a network dirve that has a question mark on it. I have selected the local hard drive and restarted twice and still always have to acknowledge I want to start from my hard drive?
