[QUOTE="Badger, post: 163635"] Even with the original processor you would be able to run Panther; All CRT iMacs had G3 processors. One step you don't describe is partitioning the new hard disk. These model iMacs have a limitation in the ATA controller. The boot system must be installed in a partition of 8 gbs AND it must be the first partition on the disk. Low End Mac has good info for running these models with OS X: [url]www.lowendmac.com[/url]. Now, rescue your iMac from those store dorks before they do serious mischief! [/QUOTE]
