Giving away your iMac, erasing hard drive and reinstalling operating software
I followed Apple's instructions for this process through erasing the hard drive. I think I did it correctly, but when restarting iMac to install operating software, the screen is blank white with a circle, with a slash through it, in the middle. I inserted my original software disk into slot. Nothing happens and disk does not eject.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.12
