Because the files that "make it so" aren't there.From: "Larry le Mac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Why can't I get it bootable after ticking the "Bootable" box ?
It's also quite possible that the CD your friend has simply doesn't work on your model iMac. They were machine-specific for a while there as I recall.
I think the most PRACTICAL solution to your problem is simply to buy a replacment from a vendor or on ebay.

"Working on a PC feels like going to work in a starched shirt and tie. Walking up to a PC makes me anxious, almost like getting ready to take the stage to deliver a speech on a topic I don't quite fully grasp. You know what it is you need to do, but success in doing it is not certain. Working on a Mac feels like throwing on your favorite jeans, a pair of sandals, and a soft, well-worn t-shirt. Instead of sitting down at a PC, you climb into the Mac environment like a huge beanbag chair, squish around a few moments until you get your butt in that perfect position, and then let it all fill up around you." -- John Manzione, MacNetv2, 13-June-03
