[QUOTE="macsonic, post: 500070, member: 37475"] I dont know if this is the right solution, can you try borrowing an external dvd drive and try to install d OSX installer from there? Maybe your built-in dvd drive have reading problems. not sure on this but give it a try. If you're iMac is intel based, you can boot from an external dvd drive, USB or Firewire (both works with intel, not with powerpc). I am currently using bootcamp in booting to my windows. I just used my external dvd writer to install the windows xp (must be service pack 2, service pack 1 yields an error message and your installation will be half finished ) I have also tried installing the OSX tiger using external dvd writer, in USB and it also worked fine, it boots from the DVD.
