Hello,
I have a 17 inch Imac G4 800 Mhtz processor and for a few months now I have had a problem with my superdrive:
1: It won't mount commercial dvd's or dvd's I have burnt on the superdrive
2: It will mount cd's, burnt or commercial.
3: The message displayed is "you have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To continue with the disk inserted click Ignore."
I have spoken to various people and they suggested that the laser for reading dvd's may have failed. I then went and bought a LaCie external dvd burner and discovered the following:
1: The DVD that contained the software for the LACIE would load and mount ok
2: On inserting a commercial dvd into the LaCie the dvd would not mount.
3: I then found that the software dvd would mount and was readable in the superdrive.
Obviously the dvd laser has not failed if it can read the software dvd, but why won't it read a commercial or burnt dvd?
Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Peter
