I'm new to SD [I'm still using the trial version]

I'm evaluating it as a backup solution to go with my new firewire drive: a G-technology G-Drive Quad

The drive came formatted as HFS, so I don't think that's the issue

In fact, I used System Pref/Startup Disk to select it as the Startup Drive, and it worked fine.

However, I want to be able to boot, if necessary, with keystrokes. I've read in the PDF manual to hold the "option" key while powering on.

That didn't work.

I read elsewhere to use command+option+shift+delete. Still nothing.

Any ideas?

Thx
