Mar 1, 2015 3:08 PM in response to lllaassby llbixler,The disk is ejected. I don't know what the boot EFI is. Even with the Startup disk ejected, the computer goes to the Install MAC OXS, but there is no disk at the 'select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X. The Mac mini install disk is Mac OS X Install DVD. OS version 10.6.3 & I believe it was Snow Leopard. 2010

Mar 1, 2015 3:33 PM in response to lllaassby llbixler,Thank you. The computer will not allow me to use the apple menu. I am only able to select anything from the install disk, which allows me to only go into utilities. In order to shut down, I have to hold the on button until it shuts down. I think the solution will be to take this to the Apple people. At least, I can eject the disk. Thank you for your help.
