I had attempted to work with boot camp on an imac and when the setup for windows showed early signs of trouble i decided to just not go further into it and abort the process. Well whenever I restarted the computer it would go right into the windows setup and when i held down command when restarting so i could choose to boot up with osx, its disc icon was not there. I continued into the windows setup and removed what i had installed, and then restarted. A message appeared, something like (no bootable disc, insert bootable disk and press any key). i inserted the osx install cd and i guess it doesnt detect it. I hit a key and nothing happens. I have a wireless keyboard that worked fine during the windows install, so im assuming thats not the problem but i will try with a non wireless tomorrow.
Anyhow, is there a way to just completely reformat from this point so that i have a fresh machine to try this reinstall on? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Its a new machine so there are no files or anything that i need recovered. Once again I would be extremely greatful to anybody who could help me with my problem or at least offer advice. I made a mistake and realize now that perhaps i was messing with something that i shouldnt be, and that it is my fault. I just want to fix this! Thank you.
