Hello everyone, Ok, I tried the Disk Utility and I can see the Mac HD drive and Bootcamp, but not the bootable cd. So I tried the cd on another Windows PC and it worked. So I went back to my Mac, and tried holding C when I restart. Something happens but the screen is dark, I think since I don't see light. I acually let my Mac sit for 15min, just give it time to load. But nothing happens. So I tried thehard shutdown and restart holding C, still the same thing. SI can hear the DVD drive spool up and spin for a min then it dies down.
Do you guys know of another option? I hear that you can hold the Options key at startup, but I don't know how many times you press the right arrow. Any info on this would be very much appreciated.
