Try a PRAM reset, which is this procedure (PRAM holds the startup disk setting)

You can also try:


Press and hold down 9 key during startup. Should force startup from Mac OS 9.


Press and hold down X key during startup. Should force startup from Mac OS X.


Press and hold down Option key during startup. Should open Startup Manager.


Press and hold down Shift key during startup. Performs a Safe Mode startup.
