[QUOTE="Harryc, post: 119251"] Thanks jhelm007. Well, that's the problem. The original drive is a CD-RW. I think I saw a form at apple to exchange the DVD for CD's, so that is one option. I sure would like to get a drive in this machine that can boot and burn DVD's though. Maybe that Pioneer DVD-109. Does anyone have a G4 Digital audio with a DVD burner that is known to boot any bootable DVD's? Meanwhile I think I will put the original drive back in to get Ubuntu installed. If that boots ok, then at least I know it's the NEC drive. Also, what is the model of the original DVD-ROM drive in this machine? [/QUOTE]
