You're really going to need a Restore or Install Disc sooner or later...


Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

Once you have a disc...


1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.


2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Utilities from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)


Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access the Menubar at top.

Other option is to contact the seller.
