Please, i will appreciate your help. Hello, thanks for your advise. I have a new MacBook unibody white, and I tried your solution and still doesn’t work. I cannot boot from a cd, etc and no way to disable efi or firmware protection.
Any advise? Thanks very much.

Dear sir,

I was intrigued by your solution to my problem and wish to contribute to the costs of a statue for you.
