I got get rid of refind, insert the DVD + the usb flash drive all at same time. I tried pressing the ''alt-option'' key - not much luck it would stop after starting to read the 18.04.iso DVD, then engaged in a reject.

On the MAc BOOk Pro mid-2009 I tried the DVD approach and pressing C key - No success it is always rejeted. I have to say It is becoming tedious or I am getting older.įirst let us be clear, The ''refind'' approach did not work before and not this time again for me on this Mac Book Pro and not on a more recent Mac Boo Pro with intel i5! and not with my older big MacBook Pro 2008 with 2 Zeon cpu totalling 4 cores. My recipe is if you DO NOT GIVE UP AND ARE VERY PERSISTENT. With most DVD drives, you can change region settings only a limited number of times before the region setting becomes locked permanently.Ĭontact the manufacturer of your DVD drive to learn how to reset the region code to your locale and any restrictions that may apply.My recent experience installing ubuntu 18.04 on same MacBook Pro mid 2009 ( MBP 5.5 ) that had ubuntu 14.04 and for THOSE WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE A BEAUTIFULL USELESS, WOTHLESS MacBook Pro that sits around doing nothing because Mountain Lion is overpass not suppoorted and dead!

However, not all drives provide this option. If your DVD drive has an incorrect region code for your area, you may be able to change the region setting of your DVD drive to match your DVD. You can usually find the region code number printed over a small globe icon on the back of the case. To avoid this error message, make sure that your DVD player and the DVD you are watching are both coded for the same region. If you try to play Region 2 titles on a Region 1 DVD drive, you will receive an error message. You can play Region 1 DVDs only on a DVD drive that is set for Region 1. For example, if you live in the United States or Canada, you are in Region 1. In general, DVDs will play only on DVD drives that use the same region country codes. If you receive a region error while playing a DVD, this means that the region code of the DVD does not match the region code of the DVD drive. Region codes prevent playback of DVDs in other geographical regions. Why do I get region errors when playing DVDs with RealPlayer (RealTimes)?ĭVD drives and movies in DVD format include region codes based on the country where the drive or movie was sold.
