Help me fix my iMac - Grey screen Flashing folder w/Question Mark

[Women]

*EDIT*
im in the disk utility menu trying to reinstall Mac OS X Lion. Its not letting me download it because my apple id does not have it bought and i cant use the previous owners because i cannot contact him due to personal issues. Is there anyway that i can use somebodys apple id that bought Lion? All i need to do is sign in so i can re install it then i will sign out and completely get rid of the account. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!

Also, i have a Mac OS X Leopard Disc but dont know how or if an install it because the system is running Lion.

Please Help, Thanks!!

Does anybody have any idea how much i could get for this if i was to sell it? Absolutely nothing wrong except for that one thing. I guess its an easy fix but i dont have the money for it.

-Thanks

You should ask the user @"Michael". He's pretty good with Macs.
