Trouble replacing a hard drive
Installation instructions say to physically install the drive and then boot to the install DVD to complete the installation.
My trouble stems from booting to the installation disc. The server does not recognize the disc when inserted into the optical drive. Rather the disc is automatically ejected after a brief period.
I have tried to insert the disc and then quickly shutdown. When booting up and holding the option key, the disc is ejected and only the currently installed drives are options to boot to.
I am not sure where to begin to address the issue. Any thoughts? How do I test the functionality of the optical drive?
