My G5 only recognises DVDs on a cold start up after being off for an hour or so

My G5 only recognises DVDs on a cold start up after being off for an hour or so

2006-10-15 by Roman Pirie

Well I managed to fit my problem into the subject line. If I insert an 
audio CD into the G5 it always sees it on the desktop. If I put in a 
DVD in the morning after being off all night it mostly sees the disc. 
If I put it in after the computer has been on an hour then it hardly 
ever sees it.
I assume I need to get my drive looked at, when I can afford it. I just 
thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this.

What happens it you restart your computer and then insert the DVD?

Here's another thought

Try running this free program... and then insert your DVD...
