[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1949556, member: 396914"] No battery in the M2 Mini, and no CMOS either. Totally different machine. But, You can boot into Recovery and reset the boot drive. Here is an Apple article on how to do that: [URL unfurl="true"]https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-your-mac-startup-disk-mchlp1034/mac[/URL] Note that you have an Apple Silicon Mac and floow the instructions under "Change your startup disk once" to change back to the internal disk for boot. Then once it's booted, follow the "Set a default startup disk" to make the internal the default again and you should be good. I think you made some mistake, probable in setting an "Owner" for the new external disk. If you really want to boot from an external drive, let us know and we can get directions for the EXACT steps to take. It's easy to mess up. [/QUOTE]
