Apple Question

I really need help!

My very old iMac, which I have had for some time, will not start up. All it does is come up with an very small blue cartoon folder with an question mark in the middle. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please help! Everything is on that computer!

A folder with a question mark means it can't find a start-up disc. Use your Install or Restore CD that came with your mac. As it starts up keep your finger on the c button so the mac uses the CD as its start-up disc. When your desktop comes up, run Disc First Aid to verify your hard drive. Hopefully, it will repair any problems that come up. If not, back-up everything and erase your hard drive. Then restore your back-up.
