[QUOTE="michaelpatko, post: 1803020, member: 400814"] Hello everyone and thank you for any help you can offer. I'm working on a 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo A1225 EMC 2211 We don't know what she did to it, but it won't boot to the desktop. It boots to a screen with 4 options: Restore From Time Machine Backup Reinstall OS X Get Help Online Disk Utility I tried reinstall OS X, entered my apple id and password, came back and said the service is temporarily unavailable, or something like that. Disk utility shows (attached image) I tried to boot from a 10.5 DVD , but it just showed an O with a slash through it, as if to say, no way pal. What should we try next? Thanks [ATTACH=full]28625[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
