I'd like to use Drive Genius on my MacPro, but can't seem to boot from the dvd drive whle holding down the C key. I've used it on my iMacs with no problem. Is there something new/different about booting up from the dvd drive?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

The boot OS on the Drive Genius disk is probably too old. Your Mac Pro needs a minumum of 10.4.7 - and the right version of that - or something newer to even boot. I suspect that the Drive Genius disk is older than that, and you won't boot without the newer version. Drive Genius has a means to create a newer boot disk (I think) at their web site.
 
Thanks so much for yur help. You're right, I do have an older version. I'll try their site and let you know of the results.
Thanks again, brian
