The eMac has never been able to boot off the DW 3.0 CD. I took the chance that maybe the DW 3.0.1 might fix this. So I downloaded the updater and followed the instructions and burnt a new CD with the the updater. When I tried to boot off that CD no luck, it just hung on the grey boot screen.
So if get this new CD from Alsoft - which will supposedly work with the iBook, does anyone know if it will also work with the eMac? Daniel F.
