Borrow an external SCSI CD writer or reader and do a Command/Opt/Shift/Del at bootup to force the external drive as a startup. Your internal CD drive is most likely a Matshita that is not "apple" compatible. Yes, a Umax CD would solve the problem as well, but an external device may still come in handy when you want to install a new system. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
