[QUOTE="cedop, post: 806527, member: 87866"] Hi all, for a while, I had only Tiger OS X 10.4 installed on my iMac. I wanted to try with having only Windows XP, so I formatted the hard drive, and here is the jist of the question... there were some dos commands I had to run to be able to boot from a windows XP cd, which basically converted the drive to a PC format and I was able to install Windows XP by itself. Now, I dont remember what the command was to convert the drive or the MBR or whatever was changed at the time, but I want to go back to Mac OS X, but the computer wont start up from the Mac Install disks. I remember at the time that I was supposed to run a different command to convet the computer back to be able to run mac - but can't for the life of me find what that is.... If anyone here has any clue to what I'm talking about - help would be very much appreciated... thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
