[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 268950, member: 21908"] Imacs have firmwear that they need to run.If you nuke the hard drive you MUST install the correct firmwear for your Imac before the Os,its better to have the Imac install dics "Its Orange". You did not say if the machine runs now? Can you get into the hard drive,is it on the desk top. Go in the system folder and find the "Foolproof " control panel and extentions and trash them. Restart,and they are gone. I would download the correct firmwear for you machine from Apple and install it first before OS 9 just to be safe. If the firmwear get messed up the machine will not restart. Same goes for installing 10,with out the 10 firmwear update first, Os 10 will burn up the video chip, "Its called death by ten" [/QUOTE]
