IMac snow leopard will not boot - it's my daughters
Hi and Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Both my daughter and I have IMacs circa 2007. I can handle mine which (I think) runs the same OS. 10.4 I believe.
Snow Leopard (not Lion)
On power up after SNC reset and PRAM reset with install disc etc and holding dowb C for long time (as well as other keys (option) the machine is still looking dead. Grey blue screen and usually spits out install DVD.
Can anyone help? I have erased the hard drive since the flashing folder icon, and repartitioned it. I cannot get it to da more than start and stay on and that's it;.
Please advise! I know Mel has lost all her data and I have to do a clean install but NOTHING seems to work!
Mel did not back anythihng up for years. She has no backup which shows I am a lousy mom.
