[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1684879, member: 333068"] When I use "get info" on the bootable flash drive I see a white circle with a multicolored "X" in it. When I open Finder, I see the installer drive, but it isn't labelled "EFI Boot". Yet when I plug in another flash drive, i see the usual flash drive icon. Interesting! You're probably right about it being the flash drive. It's just that I was expecting to see the flash drive icon when the option list came up on the mini since the flash drive icon showed up on my laptop. So, you can see my confusion & concern. I plugged in the bootable flash drive & then opened System Preferences & then clicked on "Startup Drive". The bootable flash drive wasn't listed. Should it have been? [/QUOTE]
