    Thanks, but the internal DVD drive works fine. I successfully install Debian PPC64 on that machine, as well as Sorbet Leopard.
    I don't think it's the drive's fault.


    Some notes/suggestion about this solution:

    1) When you burned the MorphOS installation CD, did the disc work on some other machine? Did the other machine show MorphOS related files directly when you browsed your CD/DVD drive? There should be tens of directories and small files (like the MorphOS.readme file), and no ISO images there (sometimes people get the ISO image file burned on a disc, instead of actual contents).

    2) If you did burn the installation CD to a CD disc, try burning it to a DVD disc. CD and DVD mechanisms are separate in the drive, and sometimes it has happened that the CD part doesn't work while the DVD part does work still.

    3) Try burning to a disc that is a different brand, for some reason Verbatims never work on my machines :)



    1). I don't have another machine that can read these CD's. I made a few... May I did it wrong... Unfortunately, to me, the instructions are not clear and detailled enough.
    On the USB, I tried both ways. All the files were copied to the stick, the boot was replaced with the correct one, and morphos.iso was also added. Nothing worked.

    2) The CD is fine. I burnt a CD with debian-12.0.0-ppc64-NETINST-1.iso, and it worked perfectly. The drive isn't the issue.

    3) I used TDK's
