Press Command plus R while holding the power button. That will take you to the recovery options.

Question says it all. I'm wondering this as I wish to do a reinstall of the OS on my Macbook Pro but can't bring up the recovery boot process, I shut the computer down and then restart whilst holding down the option key, I hold this down for 15 seconds or so. Then I use the left arrow key to hopefully select the recovery utility or whatever its called and then press enter but unfortunately the Macbook boots up as it normally should. Yes, I've tried hitting the right arrow after releasing the option key at start-up <smile>. I take it the option key is the key next to command? <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
