[QUOTE="APPLE_IMAC, post: 155166"] The system folder could be corrupt...the hard drive has nothing to boot from... Yes..I would get a CD with an OS on it...Your system is capable of running OS X... You can pickup Version 10.1 for about $10-15 dollars on E-bay...or get Panther, Tiger..(Need DVD for Tiger)..... but it will cost a lot more....When you get a CD with an OS...You can then check the HD with disk utilities...and do a clean install....Also...10-20gb drives are pretty cheap ...or go even larger...
