[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1783870, member: 42497"] OP if you are running Lion OS X.7, or later, go into Recovery Mode to check pout the hard drive:- [url]https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201314[/url] If you don't have the original dsics that came with the iMac download the appropriate file from this link. There are a couple of 2008 models so get the right model. Both the 20"and 24" models are known as iMac 8.1. Drag the file to the desktop, pop in a USB thumb drive and burn the file to that drive, and it will be bootable. Boot from it and run Utilities and check out the state of your hard drive:- [url]https://github.com/upekkha/AppleHardwareTest[/url] [/QUOTE]
