If there is no support for this, try OWC and an Apple compatible model.

I have a MacBook (black) running OS 10.6.8. The internal cd/dvd drive no longer works. I put in a disk and it gets pushed back out after a few seconds.
I just bought a LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer model GP 60NB50. The MacBook recognizes the LG drive for opening music and movies, and for burning photos to a disk.
I have been unable to use the LG drive as a start-up drive. I put Disk Warrior into the drive and restarted the computer holding down the "C" key. When the computer starts to launch there is a flash of a "?" on the screen then it loads from the hard disk. I also tried using the Apple start up disk that came with the computer but that also failed.
Any idea how I can get the LG drive to become a start-up drive when needed?
Thanks,
Orin
