I recently replaced my CD drive with a TDK 5200B writer. Now I cannot boot from the CD. For instance if I put in Norton System works or the System restore CD in my computer it comes up just fine. If i run the system restore cd it asks me to restart my computer. when i do it does not boot from the cd it just goes back to the desktop. I tried goiong to system preferences and selecting the cd drive as my startup disk and holding down "c" when booting. Stil cannot boot from cd.

Not all drives are bootable. You need to check
compatibility before buying.
