[QUOTE="robins_d, post: 1555465, member: 316774"] I was recently given a 2nd-hand iMac, which I believe is from 2005. When I boot it up it freezes at the "Apple" screen and just shows the "thinking" wheel spinning. I tried to reboot at hold the Option key to boot from the disk, but that just results in the same issue. Also tried a PRAM restart but no luck. Any suggestions? Trying to boot direct from the disk (holding down C) gets me this: [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/v/936771_10152053841571037_286376393_n.jpg?oh=662ff852c3098c6665835e8ff7edb397&oe=52A7C18F&__gda__=1386828925_81743629f088f090b67e017aefbf9587[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
