Dylan, I have both a install DVD and a set of four installation CDs, I can hear the disks turning when I out them in, but they never speed up. But, when the computer is on and booted into OS X I can open the drive by pressing the eject key on the keyboard. Does this mean OS X is recognising the drive?
