Try booting from intall disk and go to utilities menu and choose startup disk. From there select your working partition and reboot. You can also try to hold down option key when you power mac on and select your drive there. Once you are booted if ir does not boot without your intervention open terminal and do man bless. This will show you how to bless the startup disk.

Yes - it was staring me in the face. I'd brought up 'About this Mac' and i'd seen 'Power PC' and hadn't appreciated what it meant - I was so convinced that I had an Intel m/c. Anyhow I have now installed Debian PPC on it and am still learning a lot. Iain.

Humble Pie Time ! I've contacted the original owner of my system and it's NOT Intel. It's the last of the PPCs so I can't do what I wanted to do. But I have learnt a lot about Macs and that's good for me. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and I'm sorry if I wasted your time. Iain.

You're using an older version of Disk Utility so I'm not 100% sure - is there a "Show Toolbar" option in the Window menu? Anyway, the Images-> Burn... menu item should be the correct item. Perhaps it's not creating a bootable CD. You can try checking the CD by opening Terminal.app and typing the following (without the quotes and don't press return yet): "bless -info "...

Thanks for your help Maybe the main problem is that I'm not familiar with the Mac. I can get the rEFIt disk image loaded - I'm just not sure yet how to use it (carry on reading documentation) The right hand mouse option was not set to 'Secondary Button' it is now. I still can't find a 'Burn' button on Disk Utility screen (see attached file) - do you mean 'Images- Burn' on top menu. If...
