Do you mean that dragging a mounted CD-ROM disk icon from the desktop to the trash won't open the drive? I mean the drive icon does not even appear on the desktop at all. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So

Other than the fact that the computer whines over the ROM, it seems to work fine, so no one tell me to go run and buy a new Mac. There are really only two problems that are bugging me. First, the CD ROM drive doesn't seem to work. It opens, makes the spinny noise, and then nothing. Any tips

First thing you should probably do is to make sure you actually have a ROM problem. Often, when the motherboard battery is going, it can appear that there is a ROM problem when there really isn't. So I would replace the motherboard battery and see if you still have the same problem. Kevin
