[QUOTE="Rottie, post: 1015426, member: 136859"] Hi there, Sorry to state the obvious, but do you happen to have an old IDE optical drive knocking around, which you could try in the Mac, to see whether the existing drive is faulty, or whether the problem lies elsewhere, like the motherboards IDE channels. Hope this info helps. :Cool: [/QUOTE]
