[QUOTE="Thundermoon1994, post: 520067, member: 24303"] I wanted to post this in case anyone else encounters this problem in the future and searches for it. The reason I couldn't load Windows by holding down the option key was due to the firmware lock. That's what the lock image was. Although I enabled the firmware lock, I (stupidly) must have failed to actually set a password for it. That's why when I entered my root password, it still didn't let me past that screen. So....... if you're going to enable the firmware protection, make sure that you actually set a password. :) [/QUOTE]
