[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1915617, member: 83420"] Just to get the matter out of the way - you are putting the Disk in the right way up? By which I mean, the Silver side of the Super Drive should be uppermost and the Black side on the table. Sounds crazy, but it's happened on these Forums a few times before.:) Leaving that aside, and assuming Disk and Drive are the right way up, the Super Drive may be failing or its Cable connection may be suspect. Have you tried inserting the Cable into another port? And BTW, I found it best to attach the cable directly to the Mac and not through a Hub, for instance. Ian [/QUOTE]
