MacBook - Flashing Folder On Boot

[Talbs13]

Hello There,

MacBook is not starting! When it boots all i get is a flashing folder with a question mark inside?

Has the hard drive gone to hard drive heaven?

Any help would be appreciated!

This is a perfect excuse to buy a Macbook Pro.... right? I could just buy a new hard drive, which will work i guess.

Hmm.

When i tried the Disk Repair the HD was not present

Sometimes it boots into OSX but everything is going crazy, the top bit toolbar dissapears, no apps open. After a few min it just goes to a blue screen with the cog loading icon. I will try the "D" on startup and see if it does anything.
