Erasing hard drive on iMac 5,2
I have an old iMac 5,2 (circa 2006) that I am trying to erase the hard drive on so I can recycle it. I tried using Disk Utility without any luck, so I tried to reinstall the old OSX using the discs that came with the computer. When I insert Mac OS X Install Disc 2, Installer gets about halfway through the process, stops, and gives me the message "There were errors installing the software: Please try installing again." I have tried several different startup key combinations to get back into Disk Utility (or anything else for that matter), but it keeps coming back up to Installer and asking me to insert Disc 2 to continue to process. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Installer to close and/or how to get back to Disk Utility mode or any sort of regular startup to see if I can try another way to erase the hard drive? Thanks!
