Geeky talk: when your mac freezes upon restart
Ok, this is what happened: my girlfriend's mac froze after restarting from Vista to Apple.
Grey screen, loading bar. Nothing.
Here's what was in my mind 'ooooooooh no, she's gonna kill me.'
Several restarts later nothing happened, yet I always heard the startup sound (which is a good sign, believe me.)
Meanwhile: almost heart-attack and on the verge of fainting, and a girlfriend that got closer home by the minute...
So I decided to try a different way: open with alt, decide to choose Windows partition instead of the mac. It started up!!!!. SO I closed it down and restarted. And waited, and waited. And it worked!!!
So for all of you in fear of your girlfriend killing you: stay calm, there is hope.
Now excuse me, I have to go and backup a computer. Just in case this happens again with a fatal error...
