I have had an ibook for about a couple of months as of now. And for the first time it has began freezing on start up. It freezes right away and doesn't even go to the starting screen with the apple icon and the small circle showign the loading up. Also when it finishes it frozen mode it goes to a screen where there is only one small folder in the middle with the finder icon and a question mark flashing. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can fix this problem, it would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Sounds like your had drive's dying.
If you can, rescue all important data.
If it won't boot up, try connecting it to another mac using target disc mode, connect your ibook and another mac together using a firewire cable and then boot up your ibook holding the T key.
If you're ibook was new when you got it, take it back to Apple and they should replace the drive for free.

First off thanks for your help. I went to the Apple store and it turns out the HD wasn't fried but actually one of the "volume headers" was misnamed. So the Apple rep fixed it up for me and it's working once again. It being my ibook. Thanks once again.
