[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 475520, member: 17032"] Just pop in the iMac restore DVD that came with the machine, and while starting the machine press "C". This will take you to the Live OS which has disk utility and a straightforward, very straighforward installation process. Three options: Upgrade | Archive and Install | Erase and install The first one upgrades the OS leaving all your previous files intact The second installs a brand new OS, but keeps your files in a separate folder the third one does a complete formate. All data is deleted. [/QUOTE]
