Which iMac is it that you have? You may need to use XPostFacto 4.0 in order to install the OS. You should be able to get an external DVD burner to install the software.

You need to load firmware updates to run 10.. you can kill the machine with out the right firmware. Its called death by 10. The Unix code can burn up the video chip.
