the restore disc says to press "C" but I tried the option key and did have a new screen come up: icon of hard drive with an "X" on it; a curved and straight arrow. Before the system lets me click on either arrow, it again ejects the disc. Clicking on the curved arrow does nothing; clicking on the straight arrow caused the system to boot as normal.
Every system disc I try, even the Applications disc is ejected. To check the cd drive I put in a normal cd (with photos) and it was fine (appeared on the desktop, opened when disc icon was clicked). ????
