[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1723554, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. I am stunned you actually purchased a 233MHz original iMac. If you are talking about the original install CD from the 500MHz model it will not install. Those original system discs are extremely model specific. They came with operating system 8.1, and later 8.5. Also the slot loading optical drive may well be dead after all this time. This may help:- [url]http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_ab.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
