[QUOTE="Ken Ken, post: 1651762, member: 348506"] Hello, it's my 1st time post here and hope to have a help form any expertise. My iMac mid 2010 (Leopard) wasn't allow my login since the past few days, it allows only boot safe and even tried many times with original DVD (grey disk) and different method. Yesterday, I have no choice to drags those important files & photos through Firewire 800 to thunderbolt port (TDM) and collecting data to another hard disk. Luckily, I don't lost any files since I wasn't backup. However, my nightmare :'( is unable to re-install Leopard using my original DVD (grey disk). Perhaps, I was using my Macbook Air (TDM) to wipe the harddisk, because I thought that it can be clean installed again. But it's not work. It shown the icon of the DVD when boot start then I pressed "Return", it becomes fully white screen + some errors symbols on the bottom of screen after 8 minutes. Horrible situation because my iMac was functioning good so far and I wanted to keep using it longer. Does anyone can help me what should I do? Many thanks. :* [/QUOTE]
