IIRC reading that same compatability list the day before yesterday if you have that Lite-On 40125S (40X) and you flash it with the 48x firmware in a PC, this CDRW will be bootable. The link for the firmware can be found on the same list. Off course doing things like that is always on your own risk. FYI: I bought a Lite-On 24102B (24x10x40) a while ago, because off good reports at xlr8yourmac and put it in my B&W, and it was bootable if I selected the Lite-On in the startup disk cp, OK sometimes it took several minutes before it actually started booting, but it booted. Lately I had to boot from a CD, and this method didn't work anymore (flashing question mark), strange eh? I saw some suggestions at the compatibility list to make this CDRW the slave and the zip the master, maybe I will do that or I can put this CDRW in my PC and buy another CDRW, like the suggested Sony CRX195E1 or the LG 8400B and put that in my B&W. FYI: I put the CD/DVD from my B&W (24x CD/4 or 5x DVD) in my PC at the moment and it is bootable. BTW, William, have you tried booting from the LG 8400B, and is this the same model as the latest G4s have? Also Mark, what are the specs of the combo drive you installed, and is this one bootable?
