Error reading CD-Rom? Try a CD lens cleaner. Can you boot from the original system CD? Noises are generated by a slipping felt pad that holds the CD centered on tray load CD drives. It causes misalignment so the LED laser can't read the disk's directory. Charlie -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
