Comment 106 for bug 228624

Hi I am a linux newbie, my system is On Maverick Meerkat 10.10, I have it dual booted with Windows Vista (which I hate having to boot into!), but this is what I've found, all DVD's + and - work perfectly under Vista, so certainly not a hardware problem.

I first couldn't read DVD-R's applications like brasero failed to recognise that a DVD was in the drive.

However when I checked System->Administration->Disk Utility this showed that a DVD was mounted, to my surprise when I clicked unmount, everything worked, Brasero included. I don't know enough about Linux to know what that means, but I hope it helps one of you guys figure out the problem.
