Mac Mini 1.25 Ghz PowerPC G4 10.4.11
External Emprex DVDRW 1016UI USB CD/DVD writer with latest updates
It seems to be random whether the mac can see the Emprex.
I installed PatchBurn 4.0.5
I tried Burn 1.71u (13)
Most times, it wants to write to the internal Mat****a CD-RW CW-8124
drive.
It once complained of error 0x80020025 when I inserted a disc.
I need to be able to write DVDs. I have tried Tuffdisc, Datawrite,
Datasafe and TDK brands.
Most of time (as with my USB memory stick) the mac will ONLY see the
external usb drive if I reboot the machine with a "normal" (non-blank)
disc in it.
Spent a good couple of hours googling all the above - the few times
the machine sees the external drive, it says it's not writable.
Is there any way to "force" the mac to mount this drive as writable?
Thanks
