I already bought a WD Scorpio 320GB 5400RPM to be installed in my Macbook. I searched the forum on how to boot from the OSX CD once I have installed the new HD. There were two advises I found, one is to press the Command key and the other one is to press the "c" key once the MacBook is powered up. Which key should I use?
QUOTE Thanks

You posted this question yesterday, and still have not gotten an answer.

From your post above...you can either try holding the "command" key or the "c" key on startup.

Don't you think if you tried both options...that within about 5 minutes you would have your answer!!!
