Q: Can I get a replacement for my iMac Install Disk w/the Hardware Test?
I suspect a memory problem in my iMac (model iMac7,1).
When try to boot into the Apple Hardware Test by restarting and holding the D key the system boots normally, that is shows the user login prompt dialog.
I've also tryed Option-D.
Now I want to try booting from the Install Disks, but I cannot find the disks that came with the machine.
Is there any way to download a disk image or order a replacement disk?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Wonder why Apple doesn't have downloadable images. Many hardware manufacturers provide copies of disks like this as downloads.
Because the discs are tied to the serial number of the machine and are specific to the hardware of the machine. It's much more precise this way.
