[QUOTE="olivaresfelipe, post: 769666, member: 76892"] Thank you for your response. Just to keep you on the loop, I have not been able to fix the problem. I'm going to go 100% honest here: I downloaded a couple of bootable images of DiskWarrior from a torrent site. None worked (tried to boot depressing CMD+c, etc.). I tried burning them at the slowest speed and made sure they were burned as HFS. I am sure the issue is not with the superdrive itself; it was working just fine. I also downloaded the Apple Hardware Test image from here: [url=http://www.info.apple.com/support/aht.html]Apple Hardware Test Images[/url] but could not boot either. On the positive front, I managed to track down the guy from which I bought the computer. He promised he'll get me the original Tiger install DVD today itself. Worst case scenario, he told me he would refer me to a guy in Delhi who serviced for him the Apple equipment he had running at his previous job. Will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
