petukka Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi, I just downloaded a collection of bootable disc app's called Bootable Utilities 1.2 and burned it to a DVD. The instructions tell me to hold C while restarting my computer but OS X just boots up normally and doesn't boot the DVD like it should. I'm guessing that the C key booting is only for real Mac's? I also tried booting with Startup Disk from System Preferences but it just plays an annoying sound when I click restart and nothing happens. Is there any command line switch for the bootloader to startup from DVD like the C key does or any other way to boot the DVD? I'm using iATKOS 4i.
