[QUOTE="Boybland, post: 1015635, member: 146141"] If it is displaying the Apple logo and then a blue screen then it is definately trying to boot from the OSX volume. Have you tried holding the left SHIFT key, it should try to boot without loading a few or the unnecessary pieces of the OS. You could also try running a permissions repair on the disk when you have it connected through fire wire to the other Mac. I have seen this behavior after updating a few times and normally if you can get it to boot once it sorts itself out. Sometimes if it is stuck on a blue screen you can just leave it for AGES and it sorts it self out, no idea what the OS is doing when it does this. [/QUOTE]
