Maybe this should be posted in the hardware section, but I'm not sure. So here goes:
I had an unfortunate incident the other day and dropped my Macbook Pro. Now whenever I open the lid, the superdrive makes noises like there is a disk in the drive (there isn't) and after a few seconds it stops. The superdrive hasn't worked completely right in the past (it sucked at burning disks), but this is just annoying. So I want to disable it.
So far I've tried going into System/Library/Extensions and I moved IOCDStorageFamily.kext, IODVDStorageFamily.kext, and IOBDStorageFamily.kext to a different folder. But that didn't do the trick.
What else can I do short of taking my MBP apart and unplugging the SATA cable
