No ideas for you, but my Pismo didn't do this with the original DVD drive, but it does do this with the slot-loading DVD/CDRW tray I have in it from MCE Technologies (which I've now had in the Pismo probably about twice as I long as I had the original tray). FWLIW. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10GB HD that originally came with my Pismo is STILL kicking, albeit it lives now in an external drive closure; meanwhile, at least two HDs that were meant to replace it over the years have long since bit the dust.
