[QUOTE="Eif, post: 357374, member: 28966"] well...have installed macdrive6 on the pc, and accessed the osx discs on the dvd drive from the iMac!!. have tried to install, but the install folder is empty?? have tried firmware updates (wot a malarky!) no joy there, software says my imac isnt an imac. have tried resetting startup disk to boot from network ...system just hangs. i've a five day free trial on the macdrive software, i might try and copy the dvd osx install discs onto cd's. but then im not sure the mac will read writable discs? only other option is directly hooking my dvd drive into the mac, which will probably be a bit dodgy, and a lot of grief just to re install an os. i thought mac's were easy to use?
