hello I'm new to the form and i have was wondering if any one knows what might be the problem... I have a LaCie external DVD dive and a gray G4, with no internal DVD player, hence the external. the os is 10.3 and I want to upgrade it to 10.4, but it does not read the disk. I have confirmed that it reads the cds and dvd movies just fine but it does not even read that there is a disk in the drive. does any one have suggestions?

Sounds like a bad disc to me - where did the disc come from?
