From here you can access the usual Utilities – in this case Disk Utility was the important one, used to format the Mac’s hard drive, from which point the installation ran as normal. Much like selecting a bootable partition on a flash or external drive, clicking on the disc present within your external CD/DVD drive will take you to the language selection screen of OS X’s installer. Until today I didn’t realise that external CD/DVD drives show up upon booting and holding down the “Option” key, providing they have an OS X install CD or DVD in them, alongside other boot options. If you’ve created a bootable partition on a USB flash drive or external hard drive before, I’m sure you’ll already be aware of this. Holding down the “Option” (or “alt”) key directly after switching on your Mac will bring up all bootable options – disc drive, internal hard drive and, importantly, peripherals connected via USB ports.

A while ago my friend purchased an external CD/DVD drive, as replacing the Mac’s internal drive would be anything but cheap – especially if you consider that the Macbook is no longer in production. It slipped my mind and his that, as a result of his MacBook’s faulty internal disc drive, attempting to boot from disc (by holding down the “C” key) was always going to cause problems. The screen remained white for longer than perhaps it should and, though he could access Disk Utility to format the hard drive, he was unable to run the installer to reinstall OS X itself. Having taken my advice to hold down the “C” key upon startup of his MacBook – thus forcing the Mac to boot from it’s internal disc drive, from where you can erase your hard drive’s contents via Disk Utility and, and of course run the OS X installer – and after hearing the familiar chime, a problem arose. This morning I was awoken by a worried friend in the midst of attempting to reformat his Mac’s hard drive and reinstall OS X.
