Hello!
I cannot boot into an iMac running Leopard 10.5.(8?) and I am not sure why.
The last thing I was doing was rebooting after updating the computer.
When it turned back on, it showed me a grey background with a folder and question mark on it.
I followed these instructions by Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440?viewlocale=en_US up until I reached step 4.
If I can, I would rather avoid having to reinstall the operating system or calling for support from Apple. (It is also not my iMac so I don't want to buy a copy of Snow Leopard and upgrade either.
)
Holding down "option" at startup only shows me the recovery disk as the choice for booting but not the hard drive.
Ask me any more questions you may have about this computer. I bet there are instructions for Linux that would also work for Leopard so please tell me if you find something for Linux too.
Thanks!
