[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1371042, member: 46727"] Try this first: Hold down the option key as soon as you hear the "chime". If the iMac boots to the selection screen, choose the recovery partition. If it then goes to the recovery partition, select Disk Utility and run a verify and repair. If it refuses to boot past the gray screen, try booting the machine with your Snow Leopard DVD. Insert the SL disk and hold down the C key as soon as you hear the "chime". If it boots to the SL disk, accept English as the language, then go to the top menu and select "Utilities", "Disk Utility". Highlight the drive on the left side and then select the "First Aid" tab on the right side. Now run a verify and repair. Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
