I'm not sure why, but the super drive in my G5 will no longer recognize blank media. I've tried CDs and DVDs...no luck.



When I looked at the disk in Disk Utility, it shows up as locked. The media are definitely blank. I was able to try them on another Mac and they behaved as blank media should.



Any ideas?

    Do you have 10.3.7 installed? Seems like a known issue. Did you try Toast, by the way?

    I don't have toast, but I've never heard of this issue. Hmm.



    I ended up toggling the blank disc behavior in the Sys Prefs a few times and restarting. After two or three attempts, it worked.
