Question : Problem: restore imac to factory defaults

Hi - I have an old imac - with os 9.2 - I would like to restore it to factory defaults - do I need a disk? - is there a recovery partition similar to some pc's?

Answer : Problem: restore imac to factory defaults

Some Imacs cant cope with OSX - and yes, it doesn't need a license key - apple were trusting enough of its users that if you had a mac you had paid the fee.

Unfortunately the latest version of Mac you can download is somewhere around 7.5 - any others you will need to get a disk for.

Once you have the disk its easy to reinstall - just hold down the 'c' key when starting up with the disk in the drive and then follow the instructions.

Good luck with finding a disk though
