  • Yes, it must work. Just plug your external DVD drive in your Cube with the cord supplied with the Cube, insert the DVD and it should mount without any problems. If you don't see the DVD on the desktop or in the Finder sidebar, go to the Finder's pre…

  • If you mean the Apple Software Restore disk(s), the only problem is if his CD will boot your PowerBook. I doubt it, but you could just try. By the way, do you know you can make a recovery CD yourself? Donationware BootCD allows you to create a bo…
