[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1553089, member: 24160"] You do not press command with either of those. Only press the 'c' key to boot to the DVD drive or press only the 'option' key to bring up a list of bootable devices. Don't know if holding command affects anything since I haven't tried it - like preventing it from booting or if the boot process would merely ignore that key press. -------------------------------- 'command R' is correct for booting to the recovery partition where you can then go to Disk Utility and partition/erase/format the drive [/QUOTE]
