Extract the data and burn it to DVD off the other computer. Unfortunately, the iMac does not have a DVD burner but I can temporarily shuffle my most important stuff to that hard drive and then move it back after the erase and install. > > Toast 6 should allow you to use the superdrive on the PB to burn your DVDs > if needed.

AppleCare has stated that they will replace it if it is still not working after the erase and install. Does that make sense ? What kind of of software corruption could cause the DVD player not to be able to recognize blank DVD's at all to be unable to burn them either ? Isn't it a hardware issue ?
