Any ideas on this (CD won't mount, DVD fine)?
Perhaps clean?
Some of the Apple Superdrives are standard "other" drives with newer
firmware that support more media types. There is even "patched" newer
firmware for some drives that will allow the drive to be recognized as
"Apple" rather than something else. All that stupidity about the
origin of the drive ended completely by Leopard 10.5, so it's not
necessary to have an Apple drive as of 10.5. PatchBurn 4.0.5 can fix
this issue in anything earlier than 10.5, so it really doesn't matter
if the firmware says Apple or something else.
I kinda suspect you won't solve this problem, you might need another
drive?
