[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1648371, member: 331386"] Wow really did anyone bother to think the easy solution. Remove the side panel off of the g5 computer go to [url]www.ifixit.com[/url] and click on there repair guide link and search for your g5 tower once the lid is off remove the cd drive and honestly look at it is it a apple drive with a apple logo if it isn't then someone has replaced the drive before. all you need is a ide cd drive that supports dvd thats it i wouldn't honestly bother though this machine can only run leopard as its last o.s and you can't really use internet because flash player no longer works for powerpc [/QUOTE]
