[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1671962, member: 307555"] If you format the drive everything will be gone. All the apps, data, and operating system. Gone. It will be empty. Now what are you trying to do and why? Do you have a copy of the original disks that came with a 2007 iMac? I believe it was OS X 10.4 which is Tiger. If you want to wipe it and you do not have the original disks, it is possible to download Yosemite and make a bootable USB drive to do an install of Yosemite. Please understand - without a backup you will loose everything if you format the system hard drive. Lisa [/QUOTE]
