I remember reading somewhere on the apple site that the super drive only works
on certain computers, namely, the mini and macbook air, it does not work on

Hi Lynne,
You can do this three different ways. I'll outline these below. The first

You may wish to check if you have permissions on it first before editing it

behaviour? The superdrive isn't faulty becaus
