    This happened to me one time. In my case, I just waited and my iMac finally booted. Guess it finally gives up trying to find a network to boot from. It took a couple of minutes to boot. Hopefully, all you have to do is be patient and wait. If it does boot, then go back and change the startup disk back to Mac OS. Also, in the future, you can help to eliminate this problem by going to Security and putting a check in the box "Require password to unlock each System Preference pane." Hope it all works out!!!

    you can always torrent but thats kinda bad, otherwise if it still doesnt boot maybe take a run and spend some money on leopard, or maybe look at local selling sites for a dvd of what ever os u want otherwise you cannot download from apple or anything so yeah. what gets me is how alot of people loose there osx dvds
