Hi, JUSt FYI, holding down the C key during start up, will also tell the Mac to look for a CD, DVD or, yes, you hear it right, a USB thumb drive. Best, —k Faith doesn’t give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions. On Apr 1, 2016, at 3:39 PM, E.T. wrote: > Yes you

Anders, I take it you want to select this USB drive in system prefs so you can boot from it. What may work is to disconnect all external drives then while holding the option key, boot up. I just did this the other day but am sure I had just the one choice and was able to boot from that USB
