Hi Guys,
Was trying to run a disk checker program hddregen, booted from cd holding "c". While i was out of the room my friend says he checked the option in finder to "boot from foreign OS" I am now stuck booting from what appears to be dos (which is strange as i have not installed bootcamp or any similar prog) and have no idea how to reverse this. Have tried hold all modifier keys on start-up to no avail managed only to remove cd but i'm still stuck booting from Dos:eek: (I think).

Any help on this would earn major respect in my book.:p

try holding down Command+Option+P+R to reset your PRAM

If you don't mind me asking how did you fix it...
