[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1008281, member: 42497"] As much as I hate to disagree with the venerable hughvane, never have got an external hard drive to boot from USB 2 on a G3, G4 or G5, and this article refers to external hard drives, not optical drives. A lot of evidence suggests TUAW talk througb their collective hat at times. The Pioneer drive quoted is DL and will burn without drivers and is recognised as native. Personally use Toast Titanium, so do not know if Disk Utility would burn DVD+R DL discs. [/QUOTE]
