Mac Cd-rw? Options

[jeb52]

I have a TiBook with a cd-rw drive. I have only used a few cd-rws, yet inevitably I cannot re-write. I have tried using disk-utility to erase the disks, only the info says the disks are 'read only' (despite the disk showing up as 'cd-rw' on my desktop).

So I wonder, which brand (in the USA, my last failed attempt was with a TDK) is compatible with a Mac? Or, is there a cd initialization procedure I am missing?

Thanks,

Jonathan

It began to do the same thing a couple of weeks ago (my power mac g4), to finaly stop to even read this sort of CD (cdrw), to write any else CD (cd-rom, cd-audio)... I' d to change my CD-writer, after only two years and half!

I hope that isn't the same bullshit for you!!!!

PS : Sorry for my poor english...

Thanks Franerik.

Sorry for my poor French, but I guess what you are saying is that mac cd-drives are merde?

I wonder if software like Toast would help?

I've Toast 5.2.3, and it wasn't able to help me before i 'd changed of CD-writer... 39 F.S and ten minutes to change it... The Apple CD-writer toasted at 8X, my new one at 52X!!!

Have some good times for these last 2003 days!
