Hi,
I'm new to macs and trying to learn my way around. I've purchased a wiped iMac and when it boots it flashes a folder with a question mark on it. From what I understand this means it can not find a bootable OS, which is not surprising.
I've tried to install lion, leopard and snow leopard from CD with no success. The discs sound as though they're loading then I am presented with a circle with a line through it. It is also worth noting that lion was the only disc that I have not downloaded from the internet.
Long story short, where can I get the correct operating system for my iMac?
iMac 20" (model # unknown)
(serial #: QP6160T7U2S)
thanks,
Andrew
