Hi all,
At the weekend, I performed a 7 pass erase with Disk Utility on my beloved Lime iMac 400. It's in preparation for new lease of life, at a primary school. The problem is that when I put the 10.4 install disc in and attempt to start up from there, to re-install, all that happens is after a minute or so after start up, a folder icon appears in the middle of the screen, with an alternating Mac face and a question mark.
The problem may lie with the USB hubs, which appear to work intermittently. When transferring files, I had to switch the keyboard from one slot to the other, despite both working previously, before switching, if you see what I mean. Now I'm wondering has something more terminal happened in the procedure, and thus, I cannot start up from the CD, because holding down C on startup is not being seen if the USB hub is not recognising the keyboard.
Is there any way I can install 10.4 on my iMac via Target Disk Mode or any other option?
Thank you
