I got the message to shutdown the computer. The message that kind of greys out your screen. So I did that And when I turned on my 17" on again I got the interchanging ? and MacOS face. I inserted my software restore CD and after that everything was fine, EXCEPT, my airport card is no longer recognized, it says I don't have one... I never touched the card or anything...

Anyone know how I can rectify the situation?

THANK YOU!

I got the same thing twice this weekend. both were after I had unplugged something like another machine. firewire cable or iPod from y Powerbook. I ran Disk Warrior it seemed to fix it. I unplugged some of the same things lastnight and nothing happened this morning. Try running DiskWarrior and see if that fixes the Issue. I was thinking of doing a reformat and re-install I just don't have the time now to do it so hopefully it fixed the issue.
