I have a DiskWarrior CD in my 2007 17" Macbook Pro. I was having trouble booting to the CD so I set OS 10.6.4 to use that CD as the startup. I cannot reset the startup preference when started from the DiskWarrior CD and I cannot get back to using the internal hard drive as boot OS.
Is there a way that can I force the CD to eject upon restart, making the internal hard drive become the boot? I have tried Command-E and also tried holding the E key down as the MBP restarted.
Any ideas are appreciated as DiskWarrior tech support is down until tomorrow.
TIA
-Allen

As soon as you power on the computer, either click and hold the trackpad button or if there's a mouse attached, click the left mouse button. After a few moments, the disc should eject.

And if that doesn't work, hold the option key down during startup, this will give you a list of bootable volumes, then choose the internal HD
