Cannot start. Reel and the Apple logo just hangs

Thanks for reading.

I have an iMac that is 2005 - according to me. 1 TB, 4Gb, upgraded to Core 2 Duo.

By turning the Mac on the logo Apple appears and the wheel turns - and that's all.

I tried all the boot options like shift, C, T, command-R + P, etc etc and get still everything is the same. (after the sound of ding). I also took the drive and connected to an external caddy and then my Macbook Pro via USB. I can see all the files fine. Only, it does not start within the Mac. I'm afraid I don't remember which version of Mac OS X, it is sorry, but that's all that the last date and maximum was for this computer with core 2 duo.

Is it possible to reinstall the boot sector?  (I'm talking about PC jargon, no idea if this corresponds to the iMac)

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

A 2005 iMac can't run Mountain Lion, which is the community in which you posted your question. It could either be a Core 2 Duo because they were not established until 2006. So, please you get made lined up for use. What is your actual hardware and what version of Mac OS X is installed on it. Then we can get to help out you.
