If that fails, use another Mac and download a distro and build a bootable USB device. Though whatever your nephew was working on here — if there's a hardware problem of some sort — may well be an issue with recovery, too.

Feb 9, 2016 4:33 PM in response to MrHoffmanby Marlan1944,Followed your directions to the letter but now a box with a question mark pops up and iMac fails to reboot. I think maybe I will take it to the nearby Apple Store. Thank you for your help though. I am new to computers in general but found your suggestions quite easy to follow.
