[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1801762, member: 46727"] Not a problem to worry about. Ever since Apple in their "wisdom" did away with the boot chime, it's very difficult to catch the right moment to hold down an appropriate key. Here's what I found - but you have to watch the screen closely - Reboot, and eventually the screen will turn all black. Look for the backlight to come on very dim, as soon as you see that, hold down the appropriate key for what you want the machine to do. You may have to do that several times before you get it just right. Why Apple did away with the boot chime is beyond me. [/QUOTE]
