Hi Sam, Just thought I'd let you know that the 'zeroing' and erase worked (touch wood) and all seems well at the moment.
I'm trying to find another image which had the same problem as the student I was talking about has deleted her files which were problematic!! Thanks again, John _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam - MacAmbulance Sent: 02 October 2008 08:58 To: [email protected] Subject: [sussex_mug] Re: iMac problem Hi John If the motherboard's faulty it won't boot properly from anything. If the SATA connection on the motherboard's broken it might boot from an external but not internal, loading software onto it from the external should also give errors though. I'd try a full zero format. Disk Utility > Click the device name (directly above the disk's volume name) > click on Erase > Options > Zero Format > Erase > Reinstall OS X.
