How to get removable media to mount again
Ugh. I feel like an idiot.
At some point in the course of trying to copy a fatally flawed DVD (an A/D deck translated a flaw in the tape to a flaw in the code—yay) , I got mad enough to click something somewhere that told OS X to never, ever mount blank media.
Well, that was stupid. Now I can't find anything to tell OS X that I'd like to be able to mount blank media again? I currently have to use Toast every time I want to burn a music CD. For a task that mundane I'd prefer iTunes. But iTunes can't even see any of my media now.
If anyone can point me to a way to get removable media mounting again, I'd appreciate it. I've had no luck finding one so far.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm... good one. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking /Library/SystemConfig, a grep, and see what happens, but it's after 3am here, and I'm heading to bed.
Or was that not what you were asking?

Not what I was asking, but thanks. For all the talk about 'inserting', that panel controls what happens when Finder mounts blank media. My problem is that Finder doesn't mount it as a volume, so iTunes and iDVD never even see it (every so often iTunes will pop up anyway). I'm stuck with Toast 6, which can work with unmounted media.
A blank disc spins up, and Toast can work with it, so the system knows it's there. I just need to find whichever little bit I need to set to get it to mount it again.
