TOPIC

    I have a PowerBook 1400. Occasionally I would like to start up from the CD rather than the internal hard drive. To do so, I start up the system while holding down the Command-Option-Shift-Delete keys until the desktop appears. The system starts up from the CD, but the internal drive does not appear on the desktop. Can you help?


DISCUSSION

    You are holding down the keys too long. Release the Command-Option-Shift-Delete keys immediately after seeing the Welcome to Macintosh screen.

    Here is an alternate solution that can be used if the system has started up and the internal hard drive does not appear on the desktop: On the CD, in the Utilities Folder, is Drive Setup folder. Run Drive Setup, select the <not mounted> list item by clicking once on it, then select Mount Volume from the Functions menu.
