Well, just finished cleaning up my mac/reinstalling software. Not problems on HDD side...

But my superdrive (which has not worked since I bought the mac 2 weeks ago), now will read some discs, but not all. I have tried a few DVDs and such, and have only gotten 1 to work right (I tried 3 or so), and its an older, cheap copy of a movie.

I have tried a couple other DVDs and some software discs, none read in the drive. All it would do is spin up and down, over and over again. What could be the problem here? After 5 minutes the drive says its a blank dvd, where I eject it......

What could be the problem here? I am on a new reinstall of lion, but it did it a couple times in snow leopard...
