Blinking World Icon (on start)

picked my iMac 27" up from local Apple store after having Genius' run diagnostics (due to a continuously running fan). Now when i start the computer a grey screen shows (2min), then a blinking icon of the World (3min), only to load the desktop after 5 minutes. What is happening?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 8 GB

Restart the machine holding down the Option key. When the boot manager comes up, select your internal Hard drive. It should boot as normal. After that on subsequent reboots, it should find the drive and boot up quickly.
