[QUOTE="ChickieBell, post: 855119, member: 103665"] [b]Reinstall Disks[/b] They are gray and they are the correct disks. I gave Apple the following information and, according to Apple, these are the right disks for that build. Just on the very outside chance that lady made a mistake, here is the (very) detailed info: iMac iMac 5,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16ghz, 2GB RAM Boot Rom Version IM51.0090.B09 SMC Version 1.9f4 Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J 20" LCD 1344X840 with iSight EMC 2118 Made in late 2006 Here is what is on the gray Apple disks: A white apple in the center at the top Start Up and Hardware Test instructions written in small white lettering at the top right A white Mac logo on the center right iMac, Mac OS X Install Disc 1 on the left Mac OS version 10.4.7 AHT version 3A112 Disc version 1.0 2Z691-5883-A ........on the bottom left 2006 Apple Computer, Inc and copyright information at the bottom center "This software is part of a hardware bundle......." on the bottom right On the clear plastic sleeve that each disk is in, there is a white sticker with a bar code and below the bar code is: 2Z607-0010-A iMac Media Multilingual Above the bar code on one sleeve is: V9 091406 Above the bar code on the other sleeve is: 3Y08212006 458408 All the Apple person wanted was my serial number, basic computer specs, and the 2Z691-5862-A number off the discs. I know this is extremely over-the-top detailed, but I thought maybe there was something I was missing somewhere. [/QUOTE]
