[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1749355, member: 56379"] A couple questions/statements: 1. Are you 100% sure the hard drive swap went ok? 2. How long have you been trying to do Internet Recovery? If not very long...maybe something is up on Apple's end. 3. It was mentioned that there could be a router setup issue. This is REALLY not the time to be trying to solve a router issue. If your internet connection with this router was fine BEFORE the HD swap...I would not have messed with any of the settings until I got the iMac up & running again. 4. Starting up from a USB drive would work. But this is something that would have needed to be setup ahead of time (before the HD swap). You could startup with an external drive with a bootable OS installed on it...or the computer could be started up with a bootable USB stick drive with a Mac OS installer on it. But again...this is something that would have needed to be setup before the HD swap. Unless you have a 2nd computer it can be done on. HTH, - Nick p.s. Moved thread to better area. [/QUOTE]
