Hi Peter What discs are you using? DVD-R or DVD+R? The Mac's superdrives are DVD±R (so will do all, read and write). But if the laptop is only one type, then it may not read the other. (eg if you burn DVD-R and it only reads DVD+R). The original disc doesn't have some form of copy protection on it? Sometimes it will look like it's allowing you to do it, but there are some hidden files that stop it.
That's all the things I can think of for now. About to get some sleep as just finished working about 45 hours straight,... Hope that helps.
