Mac compatible DVD burners

[Snow White]

Frank;

I have no idea about your new drive but the old one seems fine.  OSX 
Install CDs all show aliases.

Put the install disk in and Restart and hold the Option key down until 
you see all your bootable disks and a couple arrows (all in boxes).  
Then choose the CD by clicking on it and then click on the right arrow 
button.  The machine will now boot from the CD and you need to follow 
the instructions from there.

Installing OSX is easy but will take time.  It takes much time at the 
end, when you think it's done, to optimize - relax it's normal.  Just 
need to wait it out.  I also hope you have OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) or newer, 
as it is faster than the previous releases.
