It seems to have lost the system boot files and won't start up at all, just stays on a white screen with this icon flashing. The internet has told me that to fix it I need the grey restore DVD for this specific model of iMac (2008 24 inch, OS X Leopard 10.5). Obviously being an idiot I don't have it, it's either in my mums house in Swansea or disappeared into the ether after two house moves...I was wondering if anyone on here happens to have this same model and hasn't misplaced their disk? As it's a restore disk not an OS install disk it has to be exactly the same model, otherwise it won't work/will wipe all my files, which I'm trying to avoid at the moment.
I will reward you with many beers/chocolate/bike cleans if you can help me out!
