    Another System Build Thread -- $2000 for all round entertainment...

    is my MacBook Pro dead?

    Tried to turn her on, and all i got was a grey screen with a flashing folder icon with a question mark. i presume this is a 'bad' thing, but i'm just wondering a.) what that code means, b.) if there's any prayer of retrieving my data.
