[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1810329, member: 396914"] No SSD, it's a spinner drive. I do have an external drive (several, in fact) but it boots from the internal drive to HS just fine. It's only the Install disk that won't boot. I did try it in an external CD/DVD drive and got the same three beeps, so it's not the internal CD/DVD drive. Not sure what system preferences>Startup disk has to do with it. It boots from the internal HD fine into HS, reads the install disk fine as a disk, but won't boot from it. I'm beginning to think that maybe the firmware is conflicting with the SL disk. And thanks for the offer, Nick. That may be a useful test. [/QUOTE]
