Apr 30, 2015 5:03 AM in response to salspixby lkrupp,If the suggested Target Disk Mode doesn’t work then I’d go to iFixit, find your iMac’s repair guide, remove the hard drive and physically destroy it. If your iMac is dead because the hard drive won’t boot, think about replacing the hard drive and then selling it.

May 7, 2015 12:00 AM in response to salspixby salspix,Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the target disk mode first--why not? I have physically destroyed a hard drive (about 15 years ago) but they were much easier to get to in those long ago days! I'll check out fixit.com right now.
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions!
