I restarted my powerbook today because I had just installed DivX. The computer boots up and I see a Glbe/Earth icon flashing in the centre of the screen. It's been flashing for 5 minutes with no appearnt acitivty from the hard drive. I am wondering if something has gone wrong or what is this flashing globe icon telling me??

Im posting from a PC.

please help.

Nevermind, the globe/earth icon disappeared and the computer began to load up and now it's fine now.

But still, after the globe/earth icon disappeared, some strange tiny icons appeared including a Qestion mark (?) in a folder like icon.


Was the computer taking so long to load because it was installing the DivX driver or what the hell was it that took so long?

It freaked me out

Your machine is looking to the network for its startup disk. Go to your startup disk preferences and make sure your OS X install on your hard drive is selected.
