I was never able to get past the blue screen. I waited for as long as 30 minutes without any luck. This weekend I tried it in my internal TEAC 540E instead of the SuperDrive. The maching booted in under 5 minutes!! Logged in without a problem. All my internal drives (3) were mounted and accessable. Works great! If anyone is having trouble booting from an Apple SuperDrive they may want to try a faster CD reader to boot from.
