Hey mac-forums, i was wondering if you guys could help me with this problem I had when I tried to install windows XP on the mac!
Tl;dr problem: I think I erased my hard drive using boot camp assistant. Is that even possible?
So I successfully installed Windows XP on my 2009 iMac, and to my dismay, I found out that I had 2 big problems.
1. I tried to go into "Mac mode" by holding alt/option during startup, but it only showed one option for startup disk and that was Windows
2. I had no internet on Windows. This was most likely because
I DONT HAVE THE DRIVER/SET-UP DISKS THAT CAME WITH MY IMAC. ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE I GOT MY IMAC, AND I LOSE THINGS EASILY
So i guess my main questions are:
1. How can I get OSX back on my iMac? I don't want to have internet-less Windows forever
2. If the answer to 1 is "get an imac retail disk" where can I get another one?
Thanks guys!
