I just put in an HP CD-RW DVD-ROM drive. It reads CD's but when I try to burn one it says the drive is not supported. Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to find a mac friendly drive. BTW I am running OS 9.1. Please help!

Thanks

Have you checked to see if you have all the plug-ins for the drive?

Have you tried looking on the manufacturers site to see if they mention it being Mac compatible, as well as on the Apple site? Go to this site, http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dl..._1.0.1.smi.bin
