ante_climax Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I have upgraded from Jas 10.4.7 Tiger to Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD today and by large it was smooth and successful. The only problem is with my SATA DVD Writer (samsung) TSSST Corp CDDVDW SHS203-B. It is detected along with my SATA HDD Seagate ST3808110AS and i can even open and close it from the taskbar button. But whenever I insert a DVD the light will go blinking and the HD drive light also goes flashing but the disc wont open . Now I hooked up an OLD LG DVD drive for installing this and that works fine. I can access the DVD Writer drive on My Vista installation ( i am dual-booting) and i can access the Windows HDD which is SATA also from my Leopard. My OSX installation is on an ancient ST320413A Seagate. PC : Old Self Assembled Processor : AMD 3200+ Venice OC 2400mhz DVD Drive : SSST Corp CDDVDW SHS203-B Hard Drive(s) : IDE ST320413A Seagate (LEOPARD), ST3808110AS (VISTA) Graphics Card : XFX Gefore 6200 TC 128 MB QE and CI !

Banks Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've had the same problem - IDE DVD works fine, SATA DVD recognized but not mount the disks. Today i installed new AppleNForceATA.kext from Leo4all v3 (thanx eddie11c) using Pacifist, and this problem is solved.

sdelano Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I beleive that your problem is in the nForce drivers. Not only is my drive working (I have the same drive), I can burn dvds with it with Nero running in VMware (as well as burn dvds in Leopard). Look into updating the nForce drivers. -sdelano Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96547-sata-dvd-writer-detected-not-working/#findComment-725793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
