Keyboard Startup Options E-mail
You can hold down the C key at startup to start up from a bootable CD or DVD already in the drive. Holding down Command-Option-Shift-Delete forces the Mac to bypass the typical default startup drive (your internal drive) in favor of an alternative bootable device, such as an external FireWire drive. This may succeed in cases where holding down the Option key does not access the drive you wish to use.

“Tim is a great guy to work with and I have not met a more knowledgeable person in the Apple/Mac field in my 8 years in the I.T. industry. He's always very pleasant and has a great attitude which has transcended our business relationship into a good friendship. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, professional consultant for all Mac products and solutions.”
