What do you mean by "Airport network bar"? Do you mean the wireless network icon in the Windows Task bar?jj Please describe what that looks like, and when you see it - Do you see it when you hold Alt at boot, and it's on your Boot drive select screen? - and is one of the icons that shows up? Does it look like a world globe?

Basically if you hold down the option key at startup the Mac will take you to a screen where you are presented with a row of icons for the different drives and bootcamp partition that you can boot from. This is the screen I'm referring to. Underneath this row of icons is a bar and to the left of the bar is the airport/wifi icon. There is a dropdown menu that appears when you click on this bar. So that's it. It appears before you actually start loading any OS stuff. You can see it on the video. When I take the Mac away from home, like the local Apple Genius Bar, I don't have this bar appear. Bring it home and it's there again. Last edited by aaphid; November 6th, 2009 at 11:48 PM. |

Just because it wasn't connected to your wireless network when you were at the Apple store has nothing to do with it. But if you want to test the theory and not take my word for it you can click on the airport status icon on the toolbar and select "turn airport off" then restart to see if it makes a difference, which I doubt it will because this is happening in EFI. Just to make sure its not a problem with your Windows partition you can put in your installer DVD to boot through using boot picker and see if it does the same thing booting to an installer DVD.

Maybe a simple PRAM reset will help this. When you click on that dropdown, so you see other wireless networks, besides your own? Does the boot happen faster, or is there any change, if you choose your wireless network at that time? Seems like that would be too early in the boot process to make a difference, but it might be interesting to try it...
