I recently decided to clear up everything on my Imac and after backing up all the data went for a system installation using the disks which came with it.
All went fine as I just followed the on screen instructions and ended up with a good as new experience ! I was able to connect up to the internet and was already to start again ie loading on pics and music.
Then my probs started...
After a few days I started up and just got a small folder icon flashing with a question mark on a grey screen. I tried various things but nothing seemed to change it.
I tried to put the Install Disk 1 in again and restarted. This gave me the option of reinstalling the OS - which whilst I didnt really want to do this I followed it through. The only problem is when the installer asks for a destination drive there is nothing there.
That's it really, I thought I had done all right and am now stuck in this cant start up scenario. I cant even seem to eject the disk.
I am a fairly new (humble) mac user and would really appreciate some advice (even if my prob seems simple!!!)
Thanks in eager anticipation
