Very interesting technique Rob, How did you stumble across that one?
works perfectly! how does this work then and is it what I will have to
do all the time?
Thanks again for your response.
Cheers

It sounds like disk burner is wanting to prepare the disk but that the
drive
is not supported by apple disk burning. What happens if you drag some
files
to the Toast data window then hit burn and then insert a blank CD?

Subject: Re: Roxio Toast problem
Hi all
I have seen a number of recent problems regarding Roxio Toast, here is
another slant. I have come across a very annoying problem. I am
running
a G5/1.6/768RAM/Panther. I purchased an external CDR Flex/Sarotech CD
writer from Tim at Artref. It came with Toast Lite 5.1. Upon
installing
the CD for the app and restarting, the device said 'No CD Recorder
found, plus with a blank CD in the drawer 'You cannot continue this
action as the device is not supported'. I took the package back to Tim
and he tried it on his Panther iMac, same problem, no Roxio Toast.
Okay, so Tim very kindly downloaded the Toast Lite (not Titanium)
updater for me and burnt it to a CD and I went home happy. Now when I
insert his CD into the G5's drive I get 'Item "Roxio Toast Lite 5.2
Update" is used by Mac OSX and cannot be opened' Dead end.
So I downloaded the update of Lite from Roxio myself. Unstuffing, the
System says no need to update? fine. Checking the external writer I
see
'Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D', or 'Atapi CD-RW52XMAX - Firewire', is
visible at the bottom of the Toast panel, so it recognizes the burner
now. I insert a blank CD (TDK Gold) into the Sarotech and get this;
'The disk could not be used because the disk drive is not supported.
(Error code 0x80020025). What on Earth?
Cables are fine, internal writer works fine, no crashes, no hiccups,
smooth running otherwise as would be expected.
Can anyone shed any lite on this please?
Thanks
Jon
