That's what I've always done when trying to boot off a CD, but it never worked. This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Post #1,725 by tjsinclair 7/13/01 2:13:41 PM Reply	Assuming the CD is bootable The way that always works (when the C key thing doesn't) is <Shift>-<Cmd>-<Option>-<Del> Not as intuitive, but usually works on older Macs (say, from the Power Computing days). Another way, if you can boot to your hard drive and are running OS 9 or better, is to use the Startup Disk control panel. Of course, I'm also assuming you're not being sarcastic....
