I purchased many others but they did not work. This is difficult to imagine or explain. Perhaps you did not format the "many other" flash drives properly. > I actually have another old iMac and I connected the two and put one on the > other but could not unlock the software and still cannot restart from a > backup. Some 2000 iMac models have FireWire (400) ports, in which case you can reboot from an external FireWire hard drive. You cannot boot from external USB drives with such old iMacs. Once again, it would be helpful if you would specify your iMac models.
