[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1719503, member: 46727"] First... this machine does not have a built in optical drive so you must be referring to an external optical drive. Are you by chance using the Apple external USB Superdrive? That is the only drive which will show up in system preferences as other third party drives do not. That's because of the built in firmware for the Apple Superdrive. If you do have an Apple external USB Superdrive, disconnect it and then do a NVRAM reset and an SMC reset. Re-attach the drive and check system preferences again. [/QUOTE]
