Bob, use 'System Profiler', > 'Disc Burning', and insert a blank CD. It will read the disc after hitting 'refresh' in the 'view' menu and give burn speeds which should test the drive sufficiently.

HiA relative gave me the install CD for Readiris Pro 12, an OCR application. However, when I insert it into the drive of my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) it is rejected. Not rejected are an old Mac OS 9 install CD, a music CD that I have previously burned and a DVD video disc. The Readiris CD does open on my eMac (OS 10.3.9).How can I test the MBP drive to confirm whether it is working correctly? Thanks.Bob --- Manage your account options at //www.freelists.org/list/muglo
