[QUOTE="AlfaKen, post: 1028493, member: 74668"] Hi all A friend asked me to install Windows on his new iMac (27") and there was a problem during the install - memory address error - so I followed the Apple instructions and uninstalled the partition. Problem is that there is still something there trying to go down the windows install procedure and on power up a message "... can't find boot disk..." appears. Am I correct in assuming that there is something like a boot command still "installed" either on the hard drive or in the equivalent of the BIOS? I can reformat the drive but am not sure that will get rid of the problem. All advise greatly anticipated! Ken :( [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
