[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1242218, member: 46727"] It sounds like you have a hard drive that is failing. A reinstall almost never solves problems with a bad or failing hard drive. Also, whenever you reinstall the operating system always make sure you have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand. After the system is up and running you can use blue tooth or whatever. Is your iMac covered by warranty (Apple care)? If it is, take it on in to Apple and let them diagnose it for you. If the hard drive is indeed bad, they'll change it out. If your machine is not under warranty and you think you can change the hard drive yourself, go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] and look over their step by step procedure. Replacing a hard drive in an iMac is a fairly involved procedure and requires the front panel display to be removed first. [/QUOTE]
