[QUOTE="chscag, post: 786263, member: 46727"] What I don't understand is why the machine won't boot from your original install disk. Use of the install disk bypasses the hard drive so any left over Ubuntu nastiness on the HDD should not be a problem. I take it from your reply that you were unable to reset the PRAM and NVRAM because the keyboard was not responding? BTW, I read all the way through your thread in the Ubuntu forum. I'm kind of at a loss here. The only other thing I can suggest is try to use another keyboard, even one for a PC will be OK provided it's USB. Once you can get the machine to boot from the original install disk, you'll be able to restore OS X. Regards. [/QUOTE]
