[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1659957, member: 56379"] Yes…I read the OP post earlier…and was thinking about it.:) Even though we're talking about two old iBooks with the same problem. Both of these VERY OLD iBooks may very well have been sitting in a closet collecting dust for the same reason. They both had problems. And in this case…that same problem could be bad optical drives. Both of these computers should be able to boot from a genuine bootable OS 9 CD. Assuming that nothing is wrong with the OS disk being used (or multiple if more than one disk has been tried). If both of computers are experiencing the same problem…I wouldn't eliminate the possibility that both have the same problem. One way to verify this would be…using a known good external optical drive to see if this makes a difference. - Nick [/QUOTE]
