I installed this system with a CD-ROM drive on an old motherboard. Then I got the DVD Writer and added it. Then I swapped motherboards. Then I removed the CD-ROM. All this happened over a 3 year period and each change was 6-12 moths after the previous. I was just wondering if the Plextor PX-716A was SUPPOSED to be bootable, or can FC5 boot off it, or do I need to go buy a CDROM just to boot off CD?
