Nikhil Chandran Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I finished installing MacOS Catalina yesterday. Everything is working except the DVD Drive. After every boot, a window pop's up saying the disk is uninitialized and ejects the tray. So I took a look inside the disk utility and it is saying that the drive capacity is 51.95 Peta Byte I tried the DVD drive in windows and it worked correctly and it was working fine in macOS HS and Sierra I didn't have to install any additional drivers or kext for it to work Does anyone know what's happening? Would this affect my HDD and SSD in some way? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/343926-dvd-drive-not-working-on-catalina/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameris_cyning Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 It should be working with 0 probs if your SATA drives are working Has macOS removed internal support for optical drives? It is possible that an external DVD drive could work.

Nikhil Chandran Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Hervé said: No support removed, no. But it's probably one of those optical drives that require the little ATAPI patch usually provided as a FakeSMC injection or by dummy kext such as old Dil83's injector. IOAHCISerialATAPI_Injector.kext.zip Difficult to say more given that OP's has not posted any specs at all, so it's a bit of a shot in the dark. sorry, I forgot to add the specs. what should i do with the kext. should i use it in clover/kext/other or install it with kext utility Edited May 22, 2020 by Nikhil Chandran Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/343926-dvd-drive-not-working-on-catalina/#findComment-2723328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
