Hmmmmm, We?ve had failed hard drives impact the operation of the optical drive in our shop. On a G4 tower, we would try disconnecting the ribbon cable to the hard drive to see if we could at least boot from CD. On an iBook, you don?t want to try even opening up the unit.
If nothing else works, you may want to reset the power manager and see if that has any impact. Let me know.

I tried all three of them, plus my 10.1 installation disk and my 9.2 installation disk. Are any of them bootable disks? I am thinking more along the lines that the computer just will not read any startup disk, internal or CD. What do you think?
