[QUOTE="jcgg, post: 780290, member: 80349"] Like most my optical drive went bad on my mini. I purchased the same optical drive the UJ-845-C that came with my original mini. Took the mini apart plugged in the new drive. The mini does not even recognize the drive. I have used the firmware to locate the drive, the "About this Mac" to locate the drive. The mini just cannot find the drive. Funny thing if I install my old bad drive the mini finds it right away. Is there another step I need to perform in order to get the mini to recognize the new drive. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
