|
| Hello..
I'm trying to set the boot drive of a Power Mac G5 (Mac OS X), without using the system preferences..i did research, and found that pressing the option key when booting should get me there (on a New World ROM mac). And I'm assuming the G5 is a New World ROM mac? Seeing its newer than the G4...
But when i press the option key, the mac just boots as normal
What am I doing wrong, and what do I have to do??
Thanks
El

| Have you tried holding down the option key starting before the Mac chime, and until something pops up on screen?
just pressing it once, wont do anything, you have to hold it down.

Thank you very much 
That did the trick.
I think my mistake was that i did not press and hold the option key (I repeatedly pressed it)
And I may have pressed it too late..
Well, that's all solved now
