lee majors Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hey, Got a fresh vanilla install of 10.5.7, and something, I don't know what, is forcing a disc check of my DVD drive. Every 40 or so seconds (sometimes 30) my DVD drive grunts, and the light flashes as if something is asking the OS to read the drive. How can I diagnose what the problem might be? Would reeeally appreciate a point in the right direction because having a drive constantly grunt at me is really annoying.

lee majors Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Woah, don't all rush to help guys, having a hard time keeping up with all the responses. Anyway, quite by chance I found the answer -- it's to do with the DVD drive's sleep functionality not playing ball.
