Mac Question

[msmith@mailer.fsu.edu]

I got your email by googling a question thought maybe you could help me 
out.  Please read below.  Any help is greatly appreciated. I got a 
mac's it's a lap top.  It's a 1.42 GHz Power PC G4; 512 level 2 cache.  
512MB of DDR SDRAM' supports up to 1.5GB with a 60 GB hard drive.  
Anyway my question is this... when I turn it on all that happens is in 
the center of the screen there's a little folder icon with the two 
faces on it and it
flashes between that and a question mark.  Nothing else happens.  I 
tried to restart with the options key press down and when I did that 
the screen showed two little folders one on the right and one on the 
left.  On the right was a button that had an arrow that looked like a 
loop options and the other had an arrow that looked like a forward 
button. Any suggestions?
