>>This excerpt from the TIL sounds like it might relate to your problem:
"The new firmware supports all of the extent and extent overflow fields of the HFS/HFS+ file structure. Without this, it was possible for the Mac OS ROM file to stored in the extent and extent overflow fields of the HFS/HFS+ file structure which would prevent the iMac from starting up. In cases where this occurs, all of the data on the hard disk is still preserved, but the iMac won't be able start up from the hard disk until the iMac Firmware updater is run. This issue is extremely rare, but certainly important to address." You might want to download and try the Firmware Update 1.1 which corrects this problem. I don't think the URL I get will work, so do a search at Apple Support for Article ID # 58179. It links to the download and gives instructions for applying the update. << ----------------------- Kevin, If Dave's suggestion (above) works, please let us know.
