I have a white dual usb ibook (700mhz combo drive etc) and it will not boot up into the OS.
It gets to a screen with a flashing question mark.
I have held ALT down to get to the boot choice screen and there is no HD sign. Obviously I need to re-install the OS, but I can't seem to boot from the CD-ROM, it wont eject, I have to use a paper clip.
I think therefore the drive is broken and have been quoted £638.81 to get the laptop looked at and drive replaced!!!!
This is ludicrous, so I was wondering if there is an external cd drive that is bootable? I know the Formac firewire one isnt...
