[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 468366, member: 8287"] How large is the new HDD? There is a 8GB or around limit for the Boot Partition on the Tray Load iMacs. After I see your answer I will show you what to do. Edit: Mac OS X If you have a hard drive over 8 GB in size, you must partition it, and the partition containing OS X must be completely within the first 8 GB of space or you will not be able to run OS X. (If you are creating the partition within OS X, it must be 7.45 GB or smaller as reported by Disk Utility, because sometimes a GB is billion bytes and sometimes it's 1,073,741,824 bytes.)
