    Unhappy HELP my new osx tiger won't recognise data discs

    Ever since I installed Tiger on my G4 I have been having some problems. Mainly when I put data discs in it which have been burned from the source my computer is not recognising them at all. It is as if they don't exist, they don't show up on my desktop !!!!

    What kind of disk?
    Which application or utility do you use to burn them?

    Also, give us a better description of your G4 system. Remember that there ahve been many revisions of the G4 Macs, including different models like the iBook, iMac, eMac, and PowerBook.

    In any case, you might need a firmware upgrade:

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    Apple iMac G5 17" (2 GHz G5) - Mac OS X 10.5.8/Ubuntu 10.04
    Asus Eee PC 901 (1.6 GHz Atom N270) - Fedora 13
    Apple Macintosh Quadra 650 (33 MHz MC68040) - Mac OS 8.1
    "JHVH-1" (2 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2400+) - Slackware 13.1
