I've had my 20" Intel iMac for going on 2 years now and had no problems, but recently the internal CD/DVD drive has begun acting up.
I insert a disc, I've tried everything from music cds, dvds, games and blank discs, yet nothing appears on the desktop, side bar or anywhere (and in system preferences it isn't set to ignore anything when inserted).
I also cannot then eject the disc unless I reboot and hold down eject while its loading up.
I have also noticed occasionally, very randomly and without prompting, it sometimes gives me a message like I have inserted a blank disc and it asks me what to do, yet there is no disc in the drive, nor have I done anything to try and use the drive.
In system profiler, under disc burning it says;
"No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
What's wrong? It is becoming highly annoying, does anyone have any solutions or have had a similar problem?
Thanks
p.s. I'm running OS X 10.5.8
