hi all,
I have tried to, repail my boot disk but it didn't work.
What I have done:
I inserted de mac-install dvd;
I restarted the system;
afte the boot-tune of the macbook, I pressed 'c' 
The normal bootprocess was done in stead of booting from the dvd.

When the system was booted, the dvd was launched (I could do e.g. a 
hardwaretest);

I have als seen in the boot options in the system prefferences but I couldn't 
select there the dvd-player.

What is going wrong or what can I do more?

best regards and a happy new year!

William
