Thanks, thewizard65. I just removed the PC Card and successfully booted to OS X. I also did the Disk Utility Repair and booting to OS X is already sweet.
I tried to put back the PC Card but it seems not working. It is detected and the optical mouse is lighted but the mouse cursor doesn't move. What specific USB Support Download should I obtain? Any suggested links?
