CDs and Disc Images not loading

I have a huge problem with Mac OS X.2

For some reason, the OS doesn't recognize any CDs when I put them in my SuperDrive. They just stay in and I can't even eject them! I have to open iTunes, click on the eject button, and enter my administrator password to eject the CD!

Also, I can't mount Disc Images, whether I'm using Disc Utility or Toast.

I think it's a problem with OS X because CDs actually load in OS 9. When I try to reinstall OS X, I get to the step where I have to pick which drive to install it on, but no drives appear, so I can't pick any!

Somebody please help!
 
ok i just found out that i don't have this problem if i log in as the root user, so i'm guessing the problem lies in my user preferences file or something like that.
anybody know how to reset that?
 
As the Admin rights owning user or root? Maybe "as not admin" user you simply have disabled yourself from seeing them. That happened to me with Linux sometimes.. :-/

Hey, welcome on board :)
 
I have the exact same problem! It temporarily went away with the 10.2.5 update, but came back with a vengeance...does Apple know??
