Hello Ted! Now that you mention it - I had the original CD drive from my Gigabit Ethernet replaced with a used DVD drive from an old PC that was laying around in my cellar. The original CD drive was broken, so I had no choice really.
Since the replacement DVD drive wasn't originally Apple, I wasn't quite sure. But I was also unable to boot a CD or DVD holding the CMD+C keys. So there is a slight possibility that the CPU upgrade has something to do with it. But I'm not sure. Sorry that I cannot say more.
