<BLOCKQUOTE>Well, you guys were right. The problem was with my secondary hard drive which stopped the computer from booting up. The fact that it burned right after an update was coincidental. I had it replaced, but lost all the data on the original drive along with the job I was working on. So it goes...<BR>

I agree, if you can't boot from a bootable CD/DVD then you have to look at a hardware problem. Not too long ago, we had an iBook than did a similar thing. In that case we thought it was a software problem since the problem developed right after an update. When it would not boot from the original OS disk, the iBook went to the Apple Store. The logic board was replaced and all has been fine since. Fortunately, it was under AppleCare.<BR>

If the Tiger discs won't boot, it sounds like you might have some sort<BR>
of hardware problem. You might try disonnecting power and re-seating<BR>
RAM and other plug-in components on your motherboard (be sure to<BR>
ground yourself to avoid static electricity problems).<BR>
