I am having the similar issues A little history. This system was running Gutsy I backed up /home on Gutsy by burning to DVD on this system reformatted installed Hardy from cdrom with the DVD drive currently in the system. After a fresh install of Hardy the problems began. What I am experiencing on 5 PCs 2 laptops is this. Data CDs and music CDs work fine. Data DVDs or movie DVDs or blank DVDs do not work on this system since Hardy was installed.
