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!
