There are a number of similar tickets open with the same problem.
I am guessing that this is a software issue.

What happens when you put the DVD in the machine?

ohu2 - Feb 21, 2006 - 2:26 pm

the disk spins up but and then it gives up. then i can eject the disk. Now in toast it will reconize that i but in a blank dvd. Now if i burn the disk in toast it eill mount after burn as long as i dont eject the disk.
