[QUOTE="Badger, post: 43029"] According to an Apple technote all Macs with built-in firewire (there are 2 exceptions noted) should be able to boot from firewire BUT the external disk may not be bootable. This is the link: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58606[/url]. To boot from a CD try putting the CD in the drive and when it appears on the desktop use the startup control panel to select it as the startup disk then restart. Badger [/QUOTE]
