It's looking for a Startup Folder. Give it a few minutes to look for it if you could start up normally any other time. If you have more then one operating system on it it may take a few more minutes. If it does finally start up then make sure you have selected a "Start up Disk" in the "Start Up" menu in the System Preferences. If it won't start up then start up with your OS-X CD/DVD and use the Disk Utility to Repair Permissions and Repair Disk.

How do you download LOTRO onto a 16GB plus flash drive?

I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for but I used to run from a 32gb flash drive. It loaded a lil slower than from HDD but not bad. I didn't install directly to the flash drive. I copied the folder from the computer to the flash drive. I also copied my lotro folder from my user documents so when I use it on another computer I can copy the user folder (small) to their computer and use my plugins.
