HELP ME PLEASE!!!! Hello, I am not very good with computers and now I have screwed up BIG TIME. I have an old iMac with the os of 8.5.1. Whenever I boot it up now, it says that "bootr is not a recognized word", now I have to type "boot" for it to boot up. So when I try to install software which requires me to restart, it doesnt appear on the computer anywhere when it restarts. Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on? Thank you in advance!!!!!

I admit on this one i needed some serious help, but heres what I got.

Step 1: Reset the OF using boot Apple-Option-O-F

Step 2: In that prompt type:
[i]reset-nvram[/i]
<press the return key>
[i]reset-all[/i]
<press the return key>

Step 3: Re-select the startup disk in Startup Disk Control Panel.
