Hey Matt,
This sounds all very encouraging. I'm so pleased you have got your data back
and backed up.
I would do another bootable backup of your whole system if you are able to,
onto another external HD if you have a spare.

Hi Matt,
The system showing the grey screen with a no-entry sign, indicates the computer
cannot boot the system.
I hope it is not what I fear, the most probable cause is a dead hard drive.
If you can boot from the DVD that came with your iMac (as Roger has suggested)

Hi Matt
Do you have an external HD or the DVD that came with the iMac, if so try
starting from them and let us know what happens.

Hi I have just tried to start my intel iMac and it has stopped at a
grey screen with a no-entry sign across the centre and nothing else
happens i.e no noise or any signs of booting up. After a while the
sign disappears the screens becomes a little lighter in colour and it
