Hi Adrian. Have you tried calling Apple directly? I recently purchase a refurbished iMac from a local retailer. Unfortunately, it did not come with OS X disc. I had a copy of OS X Leopard, but the cd rom on my old iMac went haywire & trashed the disc. I called Apple & they sent a replacement copy of OS X Leopard for $15. They can also send the original restore disc for your iMac for $15. The folks at Apple are quite helpful. Give them a call: http://www.apple.com/contact/
Best of luck to you. Patrick Berg Webmaster: Skyvalley website: http://skyvalley.angelcities.com "Have I not commanded thee: Be strong and courageous? Be not afraid, neither be dismayed; for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
