[QUOTE="jc9869, post: 969643, member: 134352"] i am new to Mac / OS X and i am currently running through something called 'firmware password' which i can block people from booting my iMac using external source. i have some questions: will i be prompted for the firmware password if i really want to boot from external hd/cd/whatever media but not the internal hd? if the above question is NO, how can i boot the iMac if there is something wrong with the internal hd like a corrupted system? thank you.
