[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1005303, member: 56231"] In your situation, I, myself, personally (all three of us) would boot that iMac from the/an original OS install disk and run a hardware check with Disk Utility > First Aid > Verify Disk. You may be able to Repair disk as well. Unfortunately you cannot repair a startup volume using Disk Utility from the iMac. Failing that, do you have Disk Warrior, or access to it? DW is top shelf in terms of analysing and repairing both OS and hardware faults. [/QUOTE]
