Hi all,

Well I encountered a rather odd problem that a total reinstall resolved once 
before, but that just is not going to be an option whenever this comes up. I 
have no idea what is causing this problem, but my internal DVD drive will no 
longer view the contents of a disc. In fact every disc I insert is being 
reported to the OS as being blank. Of course this also means the drive will not 
burn any discs either. The last time I encountered this issue I was able to 
read discs, but not write to them. I have to admit that this problem makes no 
sense, but I'm leaning toward a bad plist file that is not apparently showing 
as being bad (if that makes sense). So, does anyone know which plist files I 
could trash or what else I could possibly do to address this issue? I do not 
have any DVD burning software installed, which was my initial thought. I did 
take the machine in about a year and a half ago and had the drive replaced, 
which at the end of the day turned out not to even be the issue. So, I am 
pretty confident the drive is not the problem. Now what is more curious is an 
external drive works perfectly. So, is it possible the internal drive has gone 
bad? Sure. However, I'm inclined to think it may be a software issue. Of course 
I may just install SL on an external drive and see what happens, but thought I 
would put the question out there as well.

Thanks,
Scott
