Superdrive and DVD-RW?

Do I take it as intentional that all the literature tells me that my Powerbook G4/1.5 can make DVD-Rs but doesn't mention DVD-RWs? Has anyone had any luck w/ them working? tia, TjL 10.3.7 -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

Somewhere in the install/upgrade process (9.0 to 9.1 to 9.2.1), the upgrade CD (9.2.1, IIRC) would not install fully. The CD's are not machine specific. I had to download or copy the CD contents (don't remember) to the hard drive, restart with extensions off, and run the upgrade from the hard d

Is your version of 9.2.1 a retail version? Or is it for a specific machine? Is it a full version or an upgrade? I had a somewhat similar problem on my Dual G4 desktop. I'll try to recall the install sequence. Shawn On Jan 8, 2005, at 5:30 PM, pace wrote: Has anyone heard of any reason that OS 9.

Re: Can Macs read DVD +R disks ?

Yes you should be able to, I have burnt some +R discs and they are readable on my iBook. *However*, not all +R discs may work, a +R disc is apparently readable in 80% of dvd drives whilst -R is readable in drives. The general rule of thumb is that recent computers should be able to read pretty mu

Has anyone heard of any reason that OS 9.2.1 will not load/upgrade onto OS 9.1(classic)? This is on a pismo(G3) powerbook. I have OS 10.3.4 installed & have been running OS 9.1 when in the classic mode. But every few months OS 9.1 will not be able to be the startup disk?? & Now every time I startup

Can Macs read DVD +R disks ?

My sister is planning to send me a DVD with a couple hundred photos/Jpegs on it. She has a PC (poor gal) and has to burn to DVD +R disks. I can only burn to DVD -R's on my Powerbook. My question is, even though I can't burn to a DVD+R disk, would the Powerbook be able to recognize and read it ?

I know that this list is for PowerBooks but I didn't get any response on the iMac list, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help. I came home Thursday night and went to check my mail, do some Quicken stuff, and so forth. However, I have a MAJOR problem with my G4 iMac, 10.3.7. Jus
