O.K. my imac is a mess and I want to completely erase my harddrive and reinstall 8.6 from scratch.
I know I need to use my software restore disc but everytime I try to start the computer (disk is inserted) and hold down the c key I get a black screen. What's the difference between just clicking on the restore cd Icon on my desktop and actually restarting it and holding the c key? -------------------- Hey Ringo------Have a banana!

I might be wrong but I think the Restore CDs came along with a main Installation CD (?...). This Installation CD should be the one used to boot using the C command. The Restore CDs should be used (as their name implies it) to Restore particular elements/applications.
