Hello,

Ive got a 1,83GHz white macbook with a broken cd drive and would like to reinstall the system using an external CD drive. I've got a nice samsung usb one, but when I tried to restart the machine pressing 'c' nothing happened, and the laptop doesnt seem to see the drive at all when running in normal mode. Just to reassure you, the usb ports do work.:)

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!
