[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1122883, member: 56379"] Not sure if we covered this already (we sort of evolved from "beeping eMac's" to "eMac's with CD drive problems")...but two of the first things I would do is: - reinstall the OS...to see if that fixes things. If we're talking OS 10.5...then I would also update to the latest version 10.5.8. - make sure the eMac had a good PRAM battery. I guess I'm not sure if you have a proper OS 10.5 install disk (black disk not gray disk)...or if you're working with the OS that was installed on these computers when you received them. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
