[QUOTE="Morgan19, post: 50397, member: 4243"] This problem occurs on three Macs, all running Panther: two are AGP graphics G4s and another is some type of G4 (not sure exactly which). Back when we were running 9.x, we could pop a DVD-RAM disc into the drive, format it, and start copying files over. But now that we're on OSX, we can only use DVD-RAM discs that had already been formatted back when were using 9.x; those show up just fine. But if we try and insert a blank DVD-RAM disc, nothing happens. It doesn't mount at all. Anyone have any idea why it's doing this? It looks like we've got Hitachi GF-1000 drives, as per System Profiler. We've tried new type I and type IV discs and neither can be read, while the past-formatted ones with files already on them read fine. m19 [/QUOTE]
