I'm having problems on the setup menu. When it says to press "ENTER" to continue, my keyboard isnt working. I can't press enter, R for repair, or F3 to quit. The only thing I can do is turn the computer off and then when I turn it back on it starts up the installation process up again. I can not get the computer to start up OSX now. Anyone have this problem.

Take the CD out of the drive to get back to OSX.

Are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? You probably need USB for installation.

I'v fixed my problem. I got around it by pressing F6 at the beginning for RAID and pressed enter to continue and it worked somehow? In other words, I dont know what I did.
