Hello again, all! When I was running SL and wanted to boot into Lion from my external drive, it was fairly simple. I just held down the option key as I turned on my macbook, waited about 15 seconds, released the option key, pressed right arrow and enter. Now that I have done a clean install of lion on my macbook's main drive, this no longer works. There are still some tasks that either I can't figure out how to do in lion, or that simply don't work, so I still want to boot into SL quite often. I've got my SL install fully up-to-date and everything on my external drive, but now when I perform the above steps, I seem to be booting into the recovery partitian instead. I know I can go into system preferences and change the startup disc there, and I'm happy to do that, but was just wondering if there is a quicker, easier way. Also, if I ever get bootcamp up and running, what is the procedure for avoiding that stupid recovery partitian, and how do I choose whether I want to boot into mac or windows? Since I've gone to all the trouble of doing this clean lion install, I'm going to try and stick with it, but I still find the OS to be quite yucky when compared to SL. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide, and I'm sure I'll have more questions as I continue trying to get this thing up and running. Missy
