Flashing File Folder + ? on Startup

Greetings,

All working fine until wife logged in as guest this morning. Said she put computer to sleep. Now, when trying to start, flashing file folder with ? appears. Have tried several fixes found in other threads. Nothing. Any help greatly appreciated.

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi, welcome to the Apple Support Discussions.

OK, after your wife entered as guest, did she do anything related to the system (e.g. maybe something in the CoreServices folder in the System folder, a certain file deleted from there could mess up the whole system).
