Every time I put in a blank CD-R (I've tried with multiple discs), I hear the drive whir for a few seconds, stop, whir again, and stop again, and then the CD is ejected. This only happens with blank CD-Rs. I've tried CDs that I have burned with this drive itself in the past, and it happily reads them. No window pops up asking what to do with the blank CD, it just ejects it without asking. Any thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

No, I've used discs from this exact same stack before and they've worked flawlessly.
Same GD problem with my Macbook Pro
Did you find a way to fix this? It just started happening out of nowhere.

I had a very similar situation also. The drive would read some discs and not others, but there was no pattern how the drive behaved.
So i took it in, they said the drive was faulty, it was replaced, and now all is well.
I'd take it in to the shop for a look.....
