David86 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 ok where to start? I have two nec ide cd drive on a p5w dh deluxe, one is connected via ide and the other uses a ide to sata converter, to use a sata port. The one not using the sata converter tends to have the most ejection issues, the one using sata converter seems to have fewer issues. I don’t know if it’s related but the disk utility also freezes up periodically which im sure is either the cause or effect of the ejection issue.

David86 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 This really sucks, since this post ive been through 2 sets of sata cd drives lite on and asus, all have one issue or another, is there something im missing here. Im surprised no one else is having these issues, i think newegg is gonna start getting pissed lol.

David86 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I know how to eject them , most of the cd dives i tried just wont work. The only one that worked perfectly was out of another pc i own, an lg drive, but newegg is out of stock of lg sata drives.

charlie_1234 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Same problem. Sometimes I can insert, use, and eject a disc fine. Other times (most times) I can't eject the disk, and any program using an "open" command will freeze and cannot be killed via force quit, sudo kill, activity monitor kill, etc., etc. I also cannot restart and/or shut down. I am forced to do a cold boot almost everytime I use my cd-rom. This is pretty frustrating. Are there only a few of us out there??
