[QUOTE="mathogre, post: 341224, member: 25890"] I assume this is a SuperDrive, yes? Apparently there are some issues with SDs, based on what I found via Google. They are a bit finicky. A few weeks ago I had some trouble with my MacBook and DVDs. While your problem is with a CD-R, my guess is this is a similar problem. What happened with me was that I could burn Fuji DVD+RWs, but could not rewrite them. Also, I could read various media w/o trouble - data DVDs, video DVDs, audio CDs, et al. I seemed too to be having some apparent trouble with Sony DVD-RWs, but that turned out to be a matter of impatience on my end. A call to Apple service and some testing suggested my drive was functional. The service person suggested I try Verbatim media as the SD was designed to that. (She said that even though Apple has their own discs, Verbatim worked better.) I bought a couple Verbatim DVDs (a +RW and a -RW), and they both worked fine, QED. You might try a Verbatim disc. Get one if you can (locally or from an online dealer) and see how it goes. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
