Hello everyone,

This thread is going to be about my experiance in trying to revive my old iMac. It's an iMac Intel.

Day 1
I found the computer and thought I should try to bring it back to life! Talked to the8thark on the IRC channel about it. I am going to replace the current hard drive in the machine with a Western Digital Passport hard drive. Before I did anything to it, I booted it up and it turned on. But it go the infamous flashing Finder icon. Tomorrow I am going to attempt to place the new drive in the machine.

I will keep you guys updated if you want me to.

P.S. Do you guys think I can boot in Target Disk Mode?

- Kyle
