[QUOTE="speg, post: 1153168, member: 182248"] I've removed the optical drive and everything stays the same. It's as if the firmware is blocking the bootkeys (and yet there is no password set on OF) - is that possible? Also, there are no 'cables' connecting the drives... they both plug into an interface board which sits directly into the logic board (there are two fans connected to the board, but they haven't been touched) But shouldn't target disk mode allow us to circumvent a non-working optical drive?
