permanently changing startup volume: while running in mac os x, select system preferences... apple menu, , choose startup disk. choose startup volume , restart. unlike other options in list, new volume default until change it.

click expand...

i attempted press c, did not work. perhaps should try second option instead?

quote

accessing startup manager: restart computer , press option key. icons available startup volumes appear. use arrow keys select 1 want boot from, , press return.

click expand...

i'm going give go , back. please leave feedback if @ possible, , appreciated. i'm kind of noob on macs , need fresh install.

----------

option key seems nothing well.

ideas? on windows auto-detect boot cd , initiate install or maintenance sequence.

 

please disregard, got , running now. 15 minutes go!

edit: site should mobile version, make lot of sense.
