Hi all!
Not sure if this is the right section but I recently purchased a used iMac from maybe 2010/11(boxed with keyboard & mouse for £100). It looks like new. I bought it for word processing and web surfing. Nothing heavy - it would suit my needs. It's a 21.5in. I believe it has an i7, ATI Radeon HD 5670 and upgraded to16GB.
Anyway, I believe the HDD is corrupted. I've tried everything. I'm not too hot on OSX but I have been into the Apple store a few times, they have been excellent so far as to provide me with a new install of Lion, one of the chaps even advised me to do it myself!
My question is, is it fixable? Can I do it myself and do I need any special tools?
Also, I'd rather an SSD but HDD is also fine - maybe 512GB.
I'm in the UK so any Amazon links you may provide, UK Amazon would be helpful.
Thanks for any help.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Best.
Leon.
