Q: Disk Drive keeps spitting out DVD's!
I'm on a brand new iMac machine, and I purchased a Patec 3.0 USB external disk drive from the computer.. it behaves rather oddly though.. I just got a spindle of 15, 4.7 GB DVD-RW's I would like to burn and use with the computer, however, the first time the disk was read, I tried to burn and there was an error - so I had the DVD ejected.. It says right on the disk-load tray, "RW" meaning rewriteable format compatible..
So I tried to insert a Blu-Ray disc movie, which this drive also supports Blu Ray, and it read the CD fine, showed up on my desktop!
I'm not sure why it's behaving this way.. subsequent inserts of any DVD disc just kept spitting it out over and over.. when I know for a fact DVDs work and have been used with this drive before..
Any help appreciated! I need to get this thing working asap.
