Ok. Got 4.0.0a5. Unintalled the old profile. Installed the
new. Repaired permissions. Then tried burning a CD-R from the
Finder - dragged a handful of mp3 and pdf files to it (~90 MB)
and hit Burn... At least it no longer dies in the first 30
seconds. Now I hear the burner speed up and it sits there
thinking. Three hours later it died with the same 0x80020020 error.
Maybe Apple's burning software just sucks, like so many of their
other 3rd party encroachments.
Apple's finder disk burning has always been really reliable for
me. But what Firewire case is it in? Have you tried putting the
drive into the Mac on the ATA bus? That's one thing you haven't
tested.
hum. I'll have to think about this. The drive is my housemate's.
He doesn't like it when I fool with his internals.
Just make sure you don't have bits left over :-P
Also, I forget the genesis of this thread, but it could also be
the drive being flaky.
No problem burning CDs and DVDs of all flavours on the PC.
No problem reading CDs and DVDs on this Mac.
What does system profiler say? If it says burning is supported,
then as far as the system is concerned it should work.

This means Apple's stuff should work.
Look in your console and system logs when you try a birn, see if
you're getting firewire errors.
Here's the log from my attempt last night. From the time I clicked
Burn until about 5 hours later, noone touched the computer or the
drive. The CD looks like there was some burn, it has a 1/8" band
on it now.
Finder: Burn started, Thu Dec 1 20:29:20 2005
Finder: Burning to CD-R media with SAO strategy in SONY DVD RW
DRU-530A 2.1g via FireWire.
Finder: Requested burn speed was 4x, actual burn speed is 4x.
Finder: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.

(SERVICE_DELIVERY_OR_TARGET_FAILURE), status = 255 (No Status)
The only time I've ever had an issue with an optical drive, it was an
Apple DVD in an old Sony Spressa FW case; my 10.4 install was failing
with very similar symptoms...the drive would just stop talking.
That's why I think testing it on the ata bus would be a check.
Remotely, it could be an issue with the media, but that shouldn't
make the drive go mute.
