Problem is on a MacBook Pro... Optical Drive will Read nothing, mount nothing, tried several different drives all have the same behavior... System Profiler identifies the device as EATS@ITADVD-R UJ%857

Disc Burning says:

MATSHATA DVD%R UB-057:

Firmware Revision: HAEA

Interconnect: ATAPI

Burn Support: Yes (Generic Drive Support)

Profile Path: None

Cache: 2048 KB

Reads DVD: Yes

CD-Write: -R, -RW

DVD-Write: -R, -RW

Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds

Anyone have a clue how to fix this?? I have tried using Simple Flash, and Firmware update. The first gives me "permission denied" errors the second claims the machine does not need the update.

I'm stumped!
