Hello all,
My OSX install disc is currenly living in the DVD drive of my old graphite iMac DV.
I was planning on reformatting the hard disk of the ol' iMac, so I told it to boot off the OSX DVD. Verrrrry stupid, I think. Such an old machine cannot be run by the system software on an OSX 10.5 disc, can it?
When it starts up, it gets to the white screen with the spinning gear. I can hear the machine reading the disc, but the startup process never finishes.
I've tried restarting while holding down the mouse button. I've tried restarting while holding down Shift + Option + Command + Delete. No luck.
Anyone have any advice on how I can get my old iMac DV to spit out my OSX disc?
Thanks!
