If you can find 1 CD (such as the original MAC OS CD that came with the
G4) that works, then it is a problem of the CD media version.
Several versions and writing techniques exist, en certain drives do not
read all types of CD and CDR.
Maybe there is a firmware update for your G4 machine ?
But I would first try to see if the original MAC OS CD from the machine
itself would appear.
