just bought an external firewire drive. Can read from the disk no prob, but can't burn to it. When I insert a blank cd-r, I get the dialog box that asks me how I want to open the disk. When I try to open in it with finder, I get the following error: "You cannot burn this disc in the Finder because the disc drive is not supported." The other two methods of opening the disk (iTunes and Disk Copy) get similar errors. After receiving the error, nothing is mounted on the desktop and I cannot eject the cd using the eject button. I've been powering down and up the cd-writer to be able to eject the cd. The CD-Writer is an internal ata drive wrapped in a Micro Plus ME-320F box, which has an external hard drive. The product is listed as an external CyberDrive. The Device claims compatiblity with os x 8.6 and above (as well as windows 98,me,2000,xp).
I'm guessing the problem is that osx recognizes the burner as a cd-rom drive, not a cd-writer. Suggestions on how to get the drive to be properly recognized? By the way, I'm using a powerbook g4 - 500 MHz.
