Thanks for the help, I got it done using the external and setting it as the startup disc. It didn't have a way of resetting the startup though so i had to trick it but all is well now... thanks again for the help

Happy New Year everyone.

I need to start up from disc but my internal cd drive is playing up, is there a way i can start up from either an external or another mac..... i think i have forgotten all the basics

Yvonne

For external, put the disk in and then select it in 'Startup Disk'.
For another Mac you can use Target Disk Mode over a Firewire cable.


Good Luck
