<div dir="ltr">I would be inclined to try booting from a live USB distro, that way you could free up the DVD drive from your underlying OS and see if the problem lies with your hardware or your installation. WIth it working fine on a Windows system, we know it isn't the disc itself. If you can test it and see it working on a different Linux system you can get similar information from dmesg, it may have been burned with different options that your kernel doesn't support but could be added to resolve the problem.<br>

</div>I'm pressing the eject button on the front of the drive. Surely that<br>
causes an unmount etc?<br>

I'd accidentally left the DVD in the drive overnight and when I booted<br>
this morning, the PC booted from the DVD no problem.<br>
When I insert the DVD into the booted PC - no dice. So I think this is<br>
something software-y. Just not sure what.<br>
