[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 794840, member: 83273"] It's possible that your iMac is too new to work with OS 8.5 or 8.6. If you have an 8.5 CD, it may only be compatible with an original iMac G3/233. 8.6 should work with the five-fruit iMac 266s, 333s, and the first round of slot-loading iMacs. Starting with the Summer 2000 models, which switched the color scheme to Indigo, Sage, Ruby, Graphite, and Snow (instead of the fruit colors), the iMacs require OS 9 and won't be able to boot from an OS 8.6 CD.
