[QUOTE="IamCaveMan, post: 840193, member: 54767"] Hello, I have an iMac (iSight & Intel) that had a hard drive failure. I bought a new hard drive and replaced with no issues... My issue is that I don't have the original MAC OS X disc that came with the computer...Is there a way to use a different MAC OS X disc? If so, how do I go about installing the OS? I used a Mac Book Pro and target mode to format the new hard drive in the iMac, but am unsure of how to get the OS installed on the iMac. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. [/QUOTE]
