If not, then you need to open the system folder, drag the "finder" or the "system" out onto the desktop and then back into the folder. The System Folder should now have the "Happy Mac" face on it and your system is now bootable and should be selectable as so in the Startup Disk control panel. -- Aloha, Ken
