A SuperDrive equipped PowerMac G5 running OS-X Tiger will read and burn CDs, but won't read DVDs. Upon checking the hard drive "partitioning" scheme, it shows that it's formatted with the older Apple Partition Map - not "GUID". Could this be the cause of its inability to see DVDs? If I also re-partition the Hard Drive as GUID and upgrade the OS to 10.5 Leopard, will this solve the problem? (I already reset the PRAM and reset the "Open Firmware").

DVD Drives , with age, like all things wear out. try replacing it with a newer, faster drive, the superdrives that that mac shipped with are either 8X-16X, now there are 24X DVD Burners, and a dvd burner shouldn't cost more then $50, but on tigerdirect, you can get them for around $30
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
