Can't get my iMac out of Windows

Hi



I have an old iMac which runs a windows partition. For some time now, to get into the mac operating system (Snow Leopard) I’ve had to go through the procedure of switching on the computer and holding down the mac command key + S key to get into the command prompt, and then typing: mount -uw / followed by exit. This has been working fine, but recently I can no longer get to the command prompt as the computer goes straight into windows (even if I select the mac from the mac-or-windows choice tab window). I’m guessing that it’s possible that at some point I miss-typed the mount -uw / command and kind of locked it into windows. Anyway, if someone could advise me on a fix for this I’d be very grateful.

Hello and welcome.

Sorry for the delayed response.
  • Which model Mac?
  • Which version of OS X/macOS?
  • Which version of Windows?
  • I assume you are using Boot Camp, correct?
