nesnfsn Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I have an Asus SATA based DVD Reader/Writer. I have installed iPC 10.5.6 Universal Final with it, and have learned the kext and drivers I need. Working great, at least I thought so, until.... I cannot burn a disc, nor read any dvd's or cd-rom's in my drive. It shows up in System Information as a Sata DVD drive, using ATAPI protocol, and is even listed in the left hand column in Disk Utility. However, put a disc in to read an application for installation, or try to burn a dvd or cd-rom, and NADA. Can anyone help me get my DVD drive to work under OS X 10.5.6 after successful install with iPC 10.5.6 Universal Final Disc?

nesnfsn Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 As stated in my first post in this thread, I am using an EVGA 780i motherboard with nforce chipset. I have not accomplished getting all devices to work, including sound, with OS X 10.5.8. Everything that is, except I cannot get OSX to recognize any DVD drives. I have tried 2 different Pioneer IDE/ATAPI DVD drives, I have tried an Asus and a Samsung SATA DVD drive. My hard drives are both SATA drives. OSX will recognize the SATA DVD drives, but then, they are useless once you try to use them. The green light on the front of the drives come on, but nothing. OSX no longer controls the drives. I cannot eject/close from the menubar, nor read any disc inserted into their trays. Also, cannot burn any discs. Anyone have any experience with this problem? Solutions? I would like to be able to read data from dvd discs, burn discs, boot from a bootable disc, etc. Thanks. nesnfsn in Sunny South Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
