Nguyen Huy Thong Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi everyone! I'm now using iMac. I've installed Windows XP on it. I use Bootcamp(I dont remember exactly the name of the program) to switch between XP and Mac OS. (in XP) Now, the System.exe file is infected by a trojan, so I've used my anti-virus program to quarantine it. But now, I cannot login into my windows XP anymore, and I cannot switch to Mac OS too. I want to repair the Windows XP by using Windows XP disc but I dont know how to access the Firmware (BIOS) of iMac to set the first boot device is CD-ROM. What can I do now? thanks.

MacNutty Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Just put in the Windows CD and hold C when your iMac boots, you will be able to boot thru the CD, then repair Windows.

Nguyen Huy Thong Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sorry, but I got stuck with the CD-ROM. I've inserted Hiren's boot CD, and now I can't eject it. And, I don't know why? But my iMac doesn't have COM ports, so it doesn't work when I hold C. The keyboard hasn't worked before the login screen appears. This is my yahoo nick: dragonballxp2003.

Nguyen Huy Thong Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 To eject CD-Rom: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2285 Thanks you. I finally can eject the CD. But how to switch back to Mac OS? (--> This is still my biggest problem). I don't have Mac OS install CD or any disc for iMac. And even when I follow the instruction of MacNutty, nothing happen because my keyboard didn't working during I'm in Windows boot mode (through Boot Camp). What can I do now?
