Optical Drive Doesn't Read Blank Media

[Jvhowube]

So today I tried to burn a CD for a friend, and my drive doesn't seem to see the media. I put in a blank disc, it spins around for about 30 seconds, and then spits it back out. To make sure the drive was still alive, I put a regular CD in there and it saw it just fine. I know this problem has been addressed before, but I had some trouble finding the threads. I also tried resetting my PRAM and it did no good.

Here are my drive details:

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D:

Firmware Revision: KCVB
Interconnect: ATAPI

Cache: 2048 KB

Thanks for your help.

I have a 1.5 year-old MacBook Pro. Stats are below.

I'm having the same problem with my 10 month old MBP. Apple is replacing my superdrive.

Well, I called Apple, and they are replacing my optical drive. Awesome.
