Not sure which forum this should be in!

Installed Bootcamp on Power Mac and then started to look at Windows installation which I thought would be simple - did not intending to complete installation it as I didn't have time. Tried to exit when asked if I wanted to and can't do so - seems to be in a loop and I can't eject the CD with Windows on either.

Have tried to restart with "Shift" and with "X" key pressed down but these don't work - no start up sound so may well be pressing them at the wrong time.

Maybe this will teach me to mess with things I don't fully understand and would appreciate some help if possibe!

Have you tried holding down the "Alt" (option) key on startup?

That should give you a listing of available boot drives.

Fantastic- cured the problem I had - thanks a million!!!!!!!!!

If I wasn't already conviced about the value of being on the forum already this alone would have converted me.

All still working well now but seem to have totally lost one of the four hard disks installed on the computer [one I tried to install Windows on]. How may I recover it?

Try finding it with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility

Does it show up there?

You can format it to Mac OS X Extended there if you like.

Naturally your excellent advice worked - I thought the solution would be something like that but had [goodness knows why] been unable to find the Disk Utility!

Thanks again...........
