ORIGINAL: Nikademus Finally fixed GF's stupid Apple. Think i'll go for Round II with Bootcamp just for giggles. How did you fix it (and what was the problem)? Used Bootcamp to create a windows XP partition on her new Imac. This time bootcamp did not work as advertised and corrupted the OS-X volume which after two painful bootups went to the White screen of death you see every time you turn one on where it would then freeze. Disk utilities attempted to repair the volume but though it claimed success, it was not...the volume would still not boot up OS-X. In order to save GF's info on the corrupted volume....installed OS-X on the former WinXp partition, connected it to GF's laptop Apple and copied the entire former OS-X volume to that computer's disk. Reformatted the entire Imac....reinstalled OS-X a 2nd time, transferred over pertient files from former OS-X volume. RGR Nik - I am glad you did it! BTW, some 3rd party software (for example Acronis Disk Director or some Linux free ones that boot from CD) might have solved the problem (it must have been MBR / boot corruption or similar)...
