don't know how this happened but my G4 only wants to boot off of a CD. I had my iBook in FireWire target mode and was running Disk Warrior in OS 9. DiskWarrior finished and I changed my startup disk back to 10.2.6 and when the computer restarted for some reason it went to the CD to boot. So I put in the Disk Warrior CD and for some reason it only boots half way. But now I can't figure out how to tell the computer to boot in X and not from a cd.

Please Help!

Thanx,
Chad

Holding down the 'alt' key during start up should bring up a selection of all the drives that it can boot from.

Select your internal drive from the list.

good luck
