could you possibly be more specific? what is it telling you? why can't you install your copy? Is it the original copy that came with the iMac??

i put the disk in, start up, and hold c. normally here, it freezes. if i let it just start up, the blinking mac folder comes up and flashes a question mark for a long time. any idea now?
Try this--
Boot the iMac, and hold down command-option-P-R all at the same time (quickly), it will chime again, let it chime a few times (some say 2, some say 6)... See if that clears this up...

How did that happen?
Remember your keys -- 'c' 'option' and 'command + option + shift + delte' all mean boot off of CD.
Take Paul's advice also.
If not it might be a firmware problem Command + O + F
The blinking folder means it can't find a system folder.
