[QUOTE="Macdonald, post: 10373"] I have a white dual usb ibook (700mhz combo drive etc) and it will not boot up. It gets to a screen with a flashing question mark. Obviously I need to re-install the OS, but I can't seem to boot from the CD-ROM, also it wont eject, I have to use a paper clip. I think therefore the drive is broken and have been quoted £638.81 to get the laptop looked at and drive replaced!!!! This is ludicrous, so I was wondering if there is an external cd drive that is bootable? I know the Formac firewire one isnt... :( [/QUOTE]
