[QUOTE="eekherb, post: 1009241, member: 145913"] Frustration setting in....quickly. I replaced the hard drive on my 20" Intel iMac. I loaded the OS dvd, partitioned the new drive, and chose to restore from Time Machine. I was prompted to restart after the restore process completed, at which time I started experiencing a continuous reboot. I have tried to boot from the OS dvd by holding "C" during boot....no avail. I have also tried pressing "CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DELETE" to bypass internal hard drive, and a slew of other key presses. My last thought is to remove the hard drive, reformat it using an external enclosure on my windows machine, re-install and start all over. Any suggestions before I go that far? (btw) no other mac's in the house. [/QUOTE]
