I cannot insert it before starting the computer and I cannot insert it once it is starting or has started without the disc being spit back out. The install CD that came with the Mac mini is rejected no matter what I try. When I turn on the computer I get a folder with a question mark. That was half of the point when installing a new drive, to have a fresh system in addition to going from a 7200rpm hard drive to a SSD. I thought I would be able to boot from the installation DVD and install everything fresh without doing any pre-loading of existing software from my original set up. The drive had no operating system or files on it, I just used a formatting that allows it to be a bootable drive. The hard drive was formatted as a boot drive before I installed it. I replaced a hard drive in my 2010 Mac mini.
