you must wait a new kext release by Medevil or buy a USB/SATA adapter, it works perfect.
[cite] bhast2:thanks for the idea see if i can find one of those usb to sata adapters i sure i can
Or for the sake of £20 buy an ide dvd writer, I bought one that plays dvds quietly because as far as I know there is no way to control speed in leopard
@bhast2 , did you try changing the sata dvd channel ?
what´s your first boot device (bios)? Try changing in your bios or open your case and change the cable.
You can try it and post the results here, if doesn´t works , back to the previous settings and that´s all.
Sata (DVD) support for Nfoce is still in phase beta, the system sees and recognizes your dvd but it seems that there is a problem with the data transfer
