[QUOTE="chscag, post: 995252, member: 46727"] I take it your MacBook is no longer under warranty? Have you tried to clean the drive with a cleaning kit? They're available from Best Buy, Radio Shack, Office Depot, and many other stores. Yes, you can boot OS X from an external DVD drive. However, installing Windows from an external DVD drive is another matter. The problem you will run into trying to install Windows from an external drive is that the drive will not be recognized during the install process. Regards. [/QUOTE]
