Q: How do I get a USB Superdrive to work with a Mac Mini that was built with an optical drive?
I got a mac mini running 10.4.11 with the optical drive busted and i'm trying to upgrade to 10.6 using the Apple dvd and have a brand new external superdrive but the mini will not recognize the drive since it has a built in..i'm trying to find a work around.
Mac mini, iOS 4

It won't work. I tried to get one of those drives to work with my 2010 iMac, but it just ignored it. It is a firmware thing and machines with an internal drive won't read the Apple USB drives.
