Changing your startup disk

You can make your computer start up from a CD, a network volume, a 
different disk or disk partition, or another operating system (such as 
Mac OS 9 if your computer supports it). To do so, you change your 
startup disk.
	1 	Open System Preferences and click Startup Disk.
	2 	If necessary, click the lock icon and type the name and password 
for an administrator user.
	3 	Click the icon of the system folder that you want to use, then 
click Restart.

Another way to select a startup disk is to hold down the Option key as 
you restart your computer. You'll see the available startup disks and 
can select one.

If you start up your computer in Mac OS 9, use the Startup Disk control 
panel in the Apple menu to switch back to your Mac OS X startup disk. 
Then restart the computer.

If Mac OS 9 is not available, your computer will only start up in Mac 
OS X. You can still use most Mac OS 9 applications in the Classic 
environment. To do this, open System Preferences, click Classic, and 
then click Start.
