[QUOTE="JunMacTech, post: 271405"] By the sounds of it there is an open firmware password set to disallow you from booting to CD. Try holding option when booting. If it comes up requesting a password, then you are out of luck (unless you know the password). If it comes up with a list of drives, then you should be able to select the install disc. Another thing. If your 10.4 install disc is an older disc, the new macbooks will not boot to it. You would need a newer set of media for the new hardware. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
