#INSTALL APPLE OS ON A NEW HARD DRIVE FOR IMAC MAC OSX#
Since other CD's are booting up perfectly fine, I was thinking of installing Ubuntu Linux and maybe then trying to reinstall Mac OSX using the original CD?Īny help? Please!!!!!!!!!!!! and thank you in advance. It freezes up and I have to wait like 10 to 20 minutes to take out the CD because it won't come out.īefore I take it to Apple (#!££$"£# piece of crap) I would like to see if there's anything else I can do?

I then tried booting from the install disc and it just won't boot.

I then tried booting up (holding C) from a Windows Live CD, and it booted up perfectly fine, did a disk check, all was stated as working. I used the applications CD where you have to hold D, this booted up, I checked the system and everything was completely fine. I tried booting in safe mode, it takes ages to boot up and when it does, it freezes on the login screen. I tried running the install disc that originally came with the iMac but it does not want to boot. Rebooted the mac, and the same thing happens all over again. While it unfroze, I managed to use a tool called Yasu to clean it up, I also checked the hard drive (1TB one) and everything was said to be in normal conditon.

After like 10/20 +- minutes it unfreezes and the computer is usable. When the power button is pressed once, the screen turns off, when the power button is pressed again, screen comes back on with everything already loaded, you can see the dock, and startup programs but everything is completely frozen, I can move the mouse but apart from that it's all dead (even the keyboard). After a while the background shows up but nothing on screen and it sits there frozen. When it is powered on it stays on the apple screen for like 10+/- minutes. It is now completely unworkable, it originally has the Mac OSX Leopard system and I cannot at all use it. It was working perfectly fine up until January 2011 where it started lagging, it became very slow and eventually it kept freezing. Refer to the following message from Ubuntu's mailing list if you want to learn more.Somewhere in 2009/2010, I can't really remember now I bought the 21inch iMac.

Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions. Is this a GPT partition table? Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. dev/xxx contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives.Ī consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as:
