>Drive setup recognises the unit but even if there >is a cd in it it wont mount, The only way to get >a cd to play is to boot with Norton Utilities in >it and it will boot off this After I do this It >will play a cd after rebooting There is hope if you can boot off the NU CD. Next step is to clean the CD lens with alcohol impregnated cleaning disk; or take off the top cover and clean the LED with Q-tip moistened with isopropyl alcohol, the guide rails where the head assembly slides to and from the center. Relubricate the railings with Dri-Lube. A blast of contact cleaner where the data cable mates with the unit also helps. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
