[QUOTE="Fididi, post: 1938062, member: 419783"] hi there. Thanks Jake, There is no normal booting - just automatically into recovery mode. And when I attempt to go into safe mode it gives the ‘no entry’ sign. I’ve tried to reinstall the OS. I will try again. Not sure what the fail was last time (may be to do with challenges with internet connectivity). well this iMac has been off for a year or two now - but I want to 1, hopefully save the data and 2. repurpose as a monitor. when it stopped working it literally just stopped working - grey screens etc. i Had been planning to save up to take it to professional repairer - but that hasn’t been able to happen so trying the DIY avenues first. Would an invalid b tree node stop réinstallation of the OS? I’m certain that the 0s2 disk being totally full is partially the challenge. There is simply no bandwidth for any normal operation. would the reinstall of OS possibly free up space? thanks for all the assistance : ) [/QUOTE]
