I don't have the answer, but two different accounts not seeing the disk means the problem is in one of the files in the /Library or /System/Library folders.
At this point I would go to the Apple Discussions and see if others have had the problem, as randomly zapping system prefs isn't going to be easy.
Hey Lundy, just came back from the Apple discussions and found that one Mac user had the same problem (he was using a G4 Ti Book) and was able to fix the problem by hitting the Power Management Unit (PMU) (Reset Button)

Thanks for the suggestion iPeon, did what you suggested but the problem is that once the Blank CD/DVDs are inseted they don't show on Desktop or in Finders side col..
Do you have an Apple Store nearby, even just to talk to someone there?
Yep. I guess I'll have to go in to town (I'm in the berbs) and talk to someone in a Mac store, thanks for all your help Rick, thanks for taking the time.

If so I'd like to USE IT!!!!!
Yes - with the power off, open the side door and look for the battery. Somewhere near the battery there will be a tiny (1mm diam) round flat silver button. Push it once with the tip of a pen or pencil. Close the door and power up.
