Hi Tim, Many thanks for your help. What I found out now was that the copy of Mac OS I got with the Mac cannot be installed. It refered me to the documentation telling me what models are supported. So I have now contacted them for a new DVD. Its the new iMac wiht the 1.8 gHz Intel Dual Core. All the best and many thanks, Christian
