Ctrl + Alt + Del IN MAC??

Well my imac finally arrived today and I got boot camp to install WIN 7 and Server 2008.

Now my main problem is, every time I start up Server 2008, it asks me to perform 'Ctrl + Alt + Del'.... But I can't find delete on the mac keyboard??

Any help on this?
Thanks

    The s530 by any chance? If so I use the same one...but mine is ctrl+alt[option]+del.

    OP del is on a mac keyboard though...above arrows, like a pc keyboard.

    Is it one of those new reduced sized ones? If so it is in the top right under the eject button.

    Yes the mini one. Tried using that button but not working. Anyhow I found another way by disabling the prompt all together, so it doesn't ask me for C A D anymore
    Might invest in a full size keyboard - thanks for the hint :thumbsup:

    Why would you pay more for a mac (and get less for your money), then put WIN7 on it?

    Thats alright then, I think because del on that keyboard is the same as backspace on a pc come to think of it.
