[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1375216, member: 232297"] Yes they do. And as to the Macbook Pro's Apple has chosen to not allow booting the system from an external optical drive of any type, tray or slot load. Seems quit restrictive. I just booted my Dell Latitude E6420 from the SuperDrive that came out of my MBP installed in a case with the Win 7 DVD in it. So it is not the Intel chipset, as both my Dell and the Mac use the same chipset, and not the drive [/QUOTE]
