[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 535422"] I am looking for a plist file somewhere that would have something to do with the optical drive but can't find anything. Besides, the drive reacting this way in another brand new user account means the corruption is system-wide. One thing you could do is re-install the OS via [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583"][B]Target Disk mode[/B][/URL], your Mac being the master and her iBook being the slave. There shouldn't be any problems as long as you use her restore disks and not yours. It has to be a software problem, can't see it as being a hardware problem but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
