hecker Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Press and HOLD the ALT key while booting your computer and you will be presented with a boot manager. Boot OSX, got to System-Preferences->Startup-Disk and select OSX as your default boot partition. I had this problem after installing windows once and I had to reinstall it. Cheers, hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63673-trouble/#findComment-450663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knacker Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Oh my god... I know its the modern era, and we're not supposed to be judgmental, jingoistic and all that {censored}... But I can just hear how this guy must sound in real life... And it cracks me up. Anyway, make sure you're holding down the Option/Alt Key. It should have both of those words on the key if it's the same as in the US. DO NOT hold down the command (⌘) key, as that's not the one you want. DO HOLD: Option or Alt (It's the same key) DO NOT HOLD: Command Clover or ⌘ Took me forever to realize that when people said Alt they didn't mean ⌘.
