Problem with optical drive

[pask29]

I have an iMac G5 17" 2 Ghz with a Superdrive MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845 (firmware DBN9).

The problem started after a failed burning with Toast. Since then the drive reads only CD's and no more DVD's.

Can anyone suggest something useful ?

Thanks

ive had the same problem too, i thought it was random...

but i remmbered the last thing i burned was in toast and that failed...

now my drive cant recognise CD-R or DVD-r
