Blank DVD-R's not reading

[Chad H]

Hey guys,
I got my Mac Pro about 1 week ago. I got the BTO of 2 super drives. Well, I just tried burning an ISO and when I put in a blank dvd it won't pick it up to burn the file. I have tried with Memorex DVD+R's and Sony DVD-R's. Neither will work. Now the weird thing is regular dvd's work, games, and even Windows 7. Also I have toast 10 and it will pick it up but when I choose ISO and drop the ISO in it, it then says it can't burn audio tracks or some warning. Anyway, can someone help me? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Will it burn CD's? Will it do DVD's that aren't .isos (like just dropping a bunch of data onto a disk)?

Haven't tried that. But its like OSX isn't recognizing it. I should be able to do it in burner. If I boot into Windows 7 it recognizes it when I stick it in. It asks me what to do with this blank DVD, OSX doesn't.

Any help on this guys? Nothing happens in OSX when I insert a blank DVD. Now in windows 7 it will recognize it so I know the SD is working properly. They read/rip data fine. Its gotta be something small. Im using Sony DVD-R's. I have also tried DVD+R that were memorex and a little on the older side but still no go.

What do you have your System Preferences set to do when you insert a blank DVD?

I'll have to check on that. I would imagine this has to be a settings problem if both drives read dvd's, dvd-r's, and cd's.

If both drives are working properly in Windows for both read/write, it's probably your preferences. Check System Preferences --> CDs & DVDs. You might have blank discs set to "Ignore."
