[QUOTE="garbot, post: 1360910, member: 235381"] Hi there, I think I've made a big mistake. My iMac wasn't booting and so I ran the os x disk and restored from Time Machine BUT I restored it from my MacBook time machine file as alas, I don't have the iMac back up anymore. The mac obviously didn't like this and now won't start and goes to grey screen (loading wheel). I can't start in safe mode, I can start in single user mode. I have gone into disk utility and verified the disk (which was not happy) and repaired it. Still no joy. Any help much appreciated! x [/QUOTE]
