LMAO!!


Anyways dude on a more serious note. What if the DVD is Dual layered and your Mac's superdrive only does regular DVD's? What if you are putting it in upside down? :lol:

Anyways mind telling us the specs of the Mac....preferably just what kinda superdrive it is or for you none poofta users what kinda dvd player he has installed in that thing.
