I recommend you to buy another drive, an external one, with an open tray, more than slot ones, slot drives had lots
of problems (unfortunately apple doesn't matter about this). I recommend you to buy an external firewire drive,
unfortunately you will not be able to use iDVD (works only with internal drives) but buying another pioneer drive
will only get you some time before the same problem. I'm very sorry to admit this, after being a huge mac fan for 18
years now, but this drives sucks! another error in apple's history (like that round mouse on G3 and G4 macs, like
the cube, and some others)
good luck with that!! (I'm actually buying and LaCie external DVDexcellent products)

Hi Hhal9k (nice name!),
Well i read your post long time after you write it, but I'm sorry to tell you that the problem is a hardware one, I got
the same problem and after lots of "tricks" realized that the disk was "trapped" by the drive, the center piece lock
didn't release the disk, unfortunately, that driver apparently sucks because lots of people with iMacs have the same
problem.
I finally open my iMac, open the drive and removed the disc, even that way was hard to disengage the disk, the
locks are apparently too hard and some disk with center just a little smaller become trapped. worst of all, after the
first time, it becomes more and more usual (the locks are scratched every time a disk get stuck inside and this
make the problem bigger)
