[QUOTE="mynameis, post: 170064, member: 6607"] I would think even with no hard drive installed that you would still be able to boot from the CD. Is there any kind of jumper on the HD? I don't know how it is setup in an iBook exactly but the HD and optical drive could be on the same IDE channel, if they are both set as slave then that could possibly be why it isn't seeing the optical drive.
