Tray loader iMac G3 won't recognize CDs
Hello everybody,
Recently I got a Blue iMac G3 with the Tray-loading drive, which does work (the disc spins up normally) but the OS won't recognize, even show any alerts. The Apple CD/DVD Driver extension is enabled, and I have CD-ROM and normal CD-R discs, but the computer doesn't read them.
These are the specs of the computer:
iMac model M4984
PowerPC G3 processor at 333 MHz
194 MB of RAM
6 GB HDD
ATAPI CD-ROM drive (The OEM CD drive which came on every iMac)
Mac OS 9.2.2
I really need to get working the drive, because I need to reinstall OS 9 (I have to change the OS language). I already tried to disconnect and connect again the drive, but the problem stays. I'll buy a new drive if necessary, to check that the problem is not a software issue.
Or the drive can only read a type of CDs?
Thanks
iMac G3 model M4984-OTHER, Mac OS 9.2.x
