[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1637407, member: 24160"] 1. Shut down the MBP. Grab a can of air, attach the straw, insert it into the optical drive slot and shoot 3-4 quick bursts of air in various directions. Then try the 10.6 disc again. 2. FW target disk mode might work - never tried repairing a drive that way, but, if it acts like an external drive it may. 3. Buy an external optical drive. 4. Boot to your cloned backup and run DU from there (another reason everyone should have a bootable clone backup, not just Time Machine). [/QUOTE]
