hum. I'll have to think about this. The drive is my housemate's.

Just make sure you don't have bits left over :-P
LOL. I have a "parts cup" on my desk with a few screws in it. Stuff
that was leftover from my Smurf rebuild. :) But at least I know
where they go, eventually.
The only time I've ever had an issue with an optical drive, it was
an Apple DVD in an old Sony Spressa FW case; my 10.4 install was
failing with very similar symptoms...the drive would just stop
talking. That's why I think testing it on the ata bus would be a
check.
Remotely, it could be an issue with the media, but that shouldn't
make the drive go mute.
Jack just gave me some alternative media to try. Older slower CD-R discs, etc.
And when Karen goes afk I'm going to hit her powerbook with PatchBurn
and try the drive there. She's running Panther, so it will give me a
comparison.
