Lynn: They didn't say the "backspace" key but, I tried both delete keys and they don't seem to work. There may, however, be a message on the screen asking for something.
In any case, I can boot from the thunderbolt drive using the option key and cursoring right and enter. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 8:06 AM To: Mac OSX & iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: Booting a MAC from a Thunderbolt drive.

So by the "Delete" key, I presume you mean the "Backspace" key? This is new to us, we've always used the Option key alone when trying to boot from external hard drive media or, if memory serves, Option+R when booting from the recovery partition.
