i cannot alter my startup disc. i now appear to be running from a clone disc
(even apps) not sure how this has happened. I have tried altering the startup disc
back to mac hd in preferences but this doesn’t work. is there a way to force the
system back to the mac hd volume permanently.
many thanks
roger

Thanks a lot for posting this. I’m working on a very elaborate way to play minecraft and would have been very disapointed if I couldn’t boot from optional drives

You might want to indicate which boot options (such as safe mode and single-user mode) are disabled if a firmware password has been set.
