[QUOTE="canadianjameson, post: 911714, member: 121313"] I'm so sorry for the delay - i thought that I had subscribed to the thread and as such assumed that I was unloved by all mac users, everywhere :) (... i mean.. you guys have like, a shared consciousness right?!) hehehe. okay, so my options are pull the drive and format it on another mac or to try and guess the password? I can't get the original boot CD... but in Windows I can use any old boot CD to get into that option panel to reformat / install... is it different in MAC? I'll respond right away this time, i promise :) (p.s: color = light blue and yes there's a CD slot) [/QUOTE]
