If not at least I know I can go back to my beloved Windows 😉 without having to use boot camp or any Apple software! Just hope I can get software for it as you can for Windows. I've had the machine now for about 8 months and this was the first time I'd used it to do anything! 🙂 My main concern is that I'm unaware if there's the software I like out there for the iMac. I actually quite liked the look of it when I was using it and think I may give it a go. I've now wiped the Internal HD and the External USB HD and am going to install OS X again later today.

So thanks very much indeed for the suggestion as I now know it's possible to use the iMac as a Windows ONLY computer and the speed was great and all was fine.

From then on the iMac booted into Windows everytime and I had NO trace of OS X anywhere! 🙂Īll I then did was to run Boot Camp 3.0 from Windows and then updated it to 3.1 and after that I uninstalled Boot Camp and Apple update and some of the drivers that were not needed.Įnd result was a Windows ONLY iMac that worked like a dream! and, after a while and a cup of coffee 🙂 the computer rebooted into WINDOWS and was asking me to create an account.Īccount created, I then unpluged the USB drive and took out the set up DVD. Using the advanced settings I formatted the disk with the NTFS file system and let the set up continue.Īfter going through the complete set up and on the last reboot the screen went black and I waited and waited but nothing! After about 3 attempts at this I thought I'd wait and wait and wait. After the computer rebooted it loaded the Windows set-up and I selected the iMacs internal HD as my Windows System disk. I created ONE partiition as MBR and FAT then loaded the Windows 圆4 Installation DVD and told OS X to boot from it. So, I booted the iMac from the External USB drive and wiped the Internal HD using the disk doctor or whatever it's called 🙂 I couldn't use OS X Boot Camp on the Internal HD or External HD to make the Internal HD just a single drive for Windows as Boot Camp wouldn't allow this. I inserted the OS X install DVD and installed another copy of OS X onto a normal USB external drive. I started last evening and with OS X already on the late 2009 iMac. Thought I'd let you know that indeed your suggestion worked fine and 100% 🙂
