Samsung Blu-ray drive always seeking

[Albertsw]

Hi
I have a samsung Blu-Ray Combo drive and It blinks about 10 times every two minutes or so. I would like to know if I can make it stop doing this. :x . It doesn't do this when I'm running Ubuntu.

Known problem with Samsung and LG drives - it is the drive firmware checking for the presence of a disc. Put a blank disc in and leave it and it will stop checking.

Thanks! Ill try that but is there another way then keeping it in all the time?

I tried keeping a DVD in it but after letting the computer sleep for about 10 hours it won't wake up and I need to do a hard reset.
