TonyKL Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 My cd drive makes some noise when i power on the machine - i was just wondering if this is normal or not as its quite loud? Sounds like its searching for a cd. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26357-cd-drive-on-macbook-makes-a-noise-on-power-on/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSXtasy Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Normal, well at least on my MBP, so I imagine it would be the same.

Colonel Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 This is normal for Macs to do. My iBook, MacBook, iMac, and Powerbook all do/did the same thing.

Beldar Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 My iBook does it. My guess would be that its checking for bootable CDs.
