I have a mac at work here that I can't get it to boot off the cd. I know the disc is fine because I used it to reload a different one. Things I've tried:
-Holding the c key during boot -Holding the option key during boot(doesn't show the cd as a bootable device. Even unplugged the hard drive and it showed no boot device.) -System prefrences boot device select can select the cd but it won't boot off of it. -Cleared the cmos. -Lots of profanity ![]() Any suggestions?
