[QUOTE="Mike Nassour, post: 690481, member: 55651"] Thanks for the replies, folks. :) Now, a little more info.... Yes indeed, I just checked system profiler and it says that RW should be supported across the board. I have also noticed the following: I have an external burner, a Pioneer DVR 115D. When the blank RW media is placed in it, the same thing happens....nothing. No recognition from the Mac whatsoever. BTW, it's hooked up USB. Also...the exact same pieces of media work fine in our Intel IMac. I'm using either Fuji or TDK, and both have worked in the past. I can't imagine such an oddball quirk being a hardware issue since BOTH drives developed it at almost the same time. Both drives recognize and burn -R and +R DVDs and all CD-Rs with no problems at all. You can see why this one has me completely stumped! TIA for any other thoughts.... Mike Nassour / Austin [/QUOTE]
