To make the selection permanent, go to 'System Preferences' /  
'Startup Disk', and select there.

As soon as you hear the memory test bong, hold down the option key until both 
drives come up on your desk top.  There hsold be a spinning clock.  After a 
while, it varies form aobut 25 seconds to over a minute on a DP 533 G4 DA I 
use, an arrow should replace the spinning clock.  Click the arrow on the HD you 
wish to boot from and then click 'start.'

You should boot from the HD you have selected.  However when you shut down, 
your selection will not be permanent.

Hello,

I have an MDD with 2 hard drives (a 60gb and a 80gb).

One is formatted with 10.4.11 Tiger.
One is formatted with 10.5.8 Leopard.

When I turn the MDD on, I would like to be presented
with a choice of which hard drive to boot off of.

How can I do this?

Thank you,

Bruce S.

When you Startup, hold down the Option key ... you'll see an array of  
disks to select ...

When I turn the MDD on, I would like to be presented

How can I do this?

Thank you,
