If you try to install PatchBurn and it's not needed, it will tell you. Conversely, if you try to use the drive without PatchBurn, and it works, then you do not need PatchBurn, either. > Any point I should take special care while dismantling the G5? You'll need to take the face plate off of the tray of the new DVD drive so that it doesn't hang on the opening in your G5. It looks hard at first, might even feel hard, but if you turn the drive upside down, and push gently with your thumbs forward against the bottom lip (which is now on top b/c the drive is upside down), the bottom clips should pop off and allow you to slide the face place off the top (now on the bottom b/c your drive is upside down) of the tray. At least, that's how it came off of my 109 a year ago. peace, Linda
