Alright I got a new cdrom (I found out the old one was fried) and I set the jumpers, and cables. My Powermac 6100/60AV detects the cd-rom, but the problem is: it won't detect cds. I know the cd-rom workd (Apple CD-Player runs) but it won't load cds.

Is there a way to force the mac to search for a cd, and any reason why it wont detec?

I tried holding c/apple+cmd+shift+del. When I say apple cdplayer I mean it knows there is a cd-rom drive but no cd.

Try placing a Cd that is bootable in your drive and
restarting the computer while holding down the option
key. This will bring up the start up manager and should
list all available volumes you may choose to start from.
Hopefully the CD will be listed as a choice...

If it isn't listed then look in your System folder/
Extensions folder to see if you have these listed:

Apple Photo Access
Audio CD Access
High Sierra File Access
ISO 9660 File Access
Foreign File Access
ISSO 9660

These are required to access various types of CDs on the
Macintosh platform.
Hope this helps...
