Installed it today on a MacBook.
After a while battery went flat and it shut down.
Reboot now doesn't happen
Keep getting a "folder with a question mark" which apparently means it can't find the system software

Have tried and am still trying to "Repair Disk" from the install CD.

May just be a coincidence but be warned.

Looks like I may need to reinstall the OS

Are you sure that the hard disc hasn't died?

I'll find out when I try reinstalling the OS, although the CD based rescue thing is actually reading stuff from the HD
