Whoa! Something! I removed utf8 from both drives in fstab, and neither would open by button or terminal. I put utf8 back on the drive that was working, and it's working again....left utf8 off the burner.

Here's the new development: the burner still spins up but will not mount/read anything, so I FINALLY got the idea to see if it would notice a blank. Put the blank in and it mounted an icon to the desktop, and popped up a "you just inserted a blank dvd. Do you wish to burn a disc with:"!!!! So I have a drive that will read, and another that will burn! Technically I guess I have what I need! Still be nice to have both read, but maybe I shouldn't push my luck! ;) Still not 100% sure it's working properly, but at least it's something. Thanks again!

I did say I'm no guru and that I wasn't sure but that you could try it. Now you know the basics of what can be changed so you can play around with it some to see if you can get any better results. Like you said, at least you can both read discs and burn discs now. So you're welcome for what it was worth, at least I managed to get one working that didn't before and now I take it they work consistently which they didn't before.

I take it you've tried putting the utf8 back on the burner to see if it would read and write that way.
