I have an iMac (the old bondi blue one) and
recently whenever I put a CD in it says it is
unreadable. It then goes through all the "do
you wish to initialize" messages. I had this
problem a month ago, but it only occasionally
did this. (1 out of 10 times roughly) It has
gotten progressively worse and now it will
not even work just once. It is defintely not
a disk problem. (I have tested the disks
elsewhere) Do you think it needs to be looked
at by a tech? Or maybe just cleaned? Or a
software problem, and how could I fix it?
Thanks.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn the drives are starting to die. Replacing it is your best bet, but it'll be somewhat pricey.

Have you found a solution short of
purchasing a new drive?
