yep. I've tried the osx 10.0.3 disk and the software reocvery disk that came with the iBook. I've also tried the fault diagnostics disk that is also shipped with this iBook. All produce the same results of the disk spinning up and then the cd drive spitting out the disk all with the flashing floppy disk icon on the screen.
Is there a way to boot into single user / command line so i can run the disk tools from there?
cheers mikek
