[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 913108, member: 21908"] My orange Imac restore disc says 8.1. For DV models the disc is 9.0. Hey dude EsOne4200 the best way to do this is take the Hard Drive out and nuke it in another computer and put it back. Then these firmware issues you have to deal with starting on a clean hard drive. You ethier need the original install disc for an DV Imac, they are Orange and White or a full retail version that can do a universal install. You must have the right firmware on that model for it to work. To put X is a long process you start at 9.2.2 and the boot rom must be 4.1.9 or the X unix code can fry the video chip. DO NOT try to install OS ten with doing some research on this machine and how to install X on G3 imacs. [/QUOTE]
