LioNEXT Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Surprisingly enough, though Leopard was installed with DVD, the DVD functions themselves dont work after Leopard install. For example, any DVD movie disc does not get mounted. So does any empty DVD disc (sometimes it does but after about 15 minutes). Even the disc that I used to install does not get mounted. The DVD burn function does not work at all if I even get the DVD disc mounted on desktop. What to do? This is Lite-ON DVD DL drive from NewEgg. Here is the spec page with 06 firmware version (I have an earlier 03 version) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106072 Could it be firmware problem? How to flash firmware in Mac OSX. I have tried on virtualized XP with flash utilities, but in virtualized environment it wont work. And I dont have actual XP install. btw, the DVD I play are all US region, so that shouldnt be a problem? and why not empty disc and disc burning? Please help! Thanks.

LioNEXT Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 come on guys, no one had this problem. can someone suggest me a desktop DVD drive that will work perfectly well on a hackintosh (with leopard).

reegler Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have the same problem except my drive doesnt mount at all afterwards. I had the same initial reaction that you had. I have a Memorex DVD+R lightscribe, a nice drive. Weird thing is is that this drive worked on other leopard installs i did. I'm using Leo4allv3. - tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
