Q: how to fix flashing folder with question mark on mac pro
I have a problem with my mac pro. When I press the power on button, the screen become grey and a flashing folder with question mark appears and it doesn't boot. What should I do? I don't have a os x on a cd so I can't bypass the system...

- Of the Mac Pros, only the 2103 (trash can) has internet recovery.
- If you have another Mac you can download an OSX installer from the Purchased section of the Mac App Store and make a bootable USB device using
and then boot from that and install OSX
If not another Mac you will have to boot from Snow Leopard install DVD, erase the startup disk and install SL. After fully updating you can then go to the Purchased section of the Mac App store and redownload OSX and install
