I purchased the imac restore cd with mac os x v10.5 leopard from amazon and now im thinking I bought the wrong discs maybe? because I did the steps and afterwordds I had trouble ejecting and when I finally ejected and restarted I get a white screen with a blinking file icon and question mark. what did I do wrong? and now it only works if I have the install disc and at that point I cant do anything,i reset the password to my own password,i erased all what was on there.
