[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1461796, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info. It appears that this is a "PPC" G5 iMac…not an "Intel" based iMac. It needs to be an Intel iMac in order to use a Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) install disk. You need an install disk BEFORE OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)…something like OS 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.4 (Tiger). These are old OS versions…and have not been sold by Apple directly for a long time. You can usually find these on e-Bay…but they are not cheap. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
