[QUOTE="synchro, post: 306603, member: 25502"] Which optical drive did you use? Pioneer DVR-111? Also, I've never had good luck with Western Digital drives. Maxtor and Seagate (in that order) have always been solid. I would back up all your data to an external FireWire 800 drive (or similar) and start fresh and even re-format the drive. Is the firmware up to date on your MacPro? Be sure to do all the rituals: zap the PRAM, repair disk permissions, etc. Have you run Tech Tool? [/QUOTE]
