Optical Drive Randomly Stops Ejecting

[cpukid]

Hey guys!

I recently built a system with the Pioneer BDR-207DBK. The drive itself works great, but will randomly not let me eject it. Once I reboot the machine, it performs perfectly for a couple minutes, and then stops working. I've tried hitting the button on the drive, dragging the disc to the trash, hitting the eject key on my keyboard, as well as clicking the eject option in the menubar. Usually when I do that, the icon freezes blue in the menubar and remains like that. Once I reboot again, all is well (for a few more minutes).

Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

That doesn't do anything either :? Does anyone know what would be causing this?

Hi don't if this is to late in the day for you but I've just fitted one of these and had the same problem it seem's that this drive will not wakeup once it gone to sleep.
so you have to turn off drive sleep in power saving pref's

hope this help's
