DonGui Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi, I've recently built myself a hackintosh, and everything went well except for the fact that my DVD drive, which is capable of burning cd/dvds, only allows me to read media but doesn't give me access to any burn capabilities in mac os x - my windows7 install allows me to burn, however, so the drive is fully functional. Everything is as if mac os X only considered the drive as a player without burning capabilities. The drive is a LG sata drive, HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS50. Anyone has had the same issue? Any lead for solving it? Thanks, DonGui Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/225985-dvd-burner-seen-as-simple-player/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonGui Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Out of despair I bought a new dvd drive, Pioneer this time, still SATA. The issue is the same with this drive, it reads material, but doesn't accept blank media (when I insert a blank cd, nothing happens in the Finder) and therefore cannot burn. Really, doesn't anyone have a clue on this? Please?
