You can set your Mac to automatically use a specific startup volume, or you can temporarily override this choice at startup.

The next time you start up or restart your computer, your Mac starts up using the operating system on the selected volume.

Use these steps to choose a startup disk with Startup Manager:

  1. Turn on or restart your Mac.

  4. Double-click or press the Return key to start up your Mac from the volume you selected.

If you have an optical drive connected to your computer, you can insert an installation disc to see it in Startup Manager. You can also attach FireWire or USB external hard drives that contain an operating system to add to the list of startup volumes.

Startup Manager automatically adds bootable volumes as you connect them.
