[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1832271, member: 175845"] Did you actually purchase and is it an Apple Superdrive (external DVD drive) model that you have connected??? They are not compatible for use with a Mac that already has as an internal Apple Superdrive CD/DVD installed. That fileyou read about and did the mod to is no doubt a hack to try and get it to work. If that is your situation, I would suggest buying a non-apple external CD/DVD drive and using it and disconnect the external Apple superdrive. You should be able to pick up a new non-apple brand external optical drive for about $35.00 and save yourself a lot of hassles. They usually also work better than Apple's models as well and are sure a **** of a lot cheaper!!! :Smirk: - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
