superdrive not writing cds

    I'm trying to backup some jpeg pictures on my 5 month old mac mini but having some problems.

    I've copied them to my "burn folder", stuck in a blank cd (verbatim cd-r) & clicked burn. The mouse pointer spins for ages, the drive makes a louder noise than usual & then it appears to burn. There's nothing on the cd afterwards though. :confused:

    I'm supposed to be meeting a boards member this evening to sell it to him (trading up to a powerbook for work) so I'm kinda hoping this isn't a sign of a faulty drive/ logic board. I've tried restarting & using another blank cd but I'm getting the same problem. Any suggestions?

    (I'm going out to buy a blank dvd to test it...)

    Thankfully the problem appears to be the cds themselves.

    Sounds like you're burning in simulation mode. Turn that off and you should be flying.
