Yeah, I burned a DVD once, and ever since, it won't read or write DVDs. I'm trying to install Leopard, but it won't boot from the disk, either, just spits them out.
Got a tip for us?

I don't want to insult you or anything, so don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure you're putting the DVD in the right way? I know you most likely aren't, but that's an easy problem to fix. 😀
Otherwise, you could have a defective drive. If you have the time, you should take it to an apple store nearby, and if they can't fix it, they might well give you a new one.

For a scary second there, I thought I might be putting them in the wrong way...sadly/thankfully, it didn't work. 🙁/🙂
I'm afraid I DO have a defective drive. 🙁
I've reset the NVRAM multiple times, too...

After talking with a friend and reading some posts, it seems that the SuperDrive Firmware Update 2.1 may have killed it. The last time I could use it was Junish, right around the time the Update came out. Gonna get it repaired...
