ok...incredible help. thank you. I'll try this tonight and report back. I assume yasu will not cause any problems to my setup...safe to run? Thanks so much.

Again, many thanks. As I stated in my first post, third party apps like Toast work fine burning DVDs and regular cds are cool too...so it's definately a software issue...but clueless as to what to do or where to look. My system drive crashed several months ago and I had to repair it with...

Satcomer... thanks so much for your help. I'm sorry...I didn't see your reply until now. I'm subscribed now. So...resetting pram didn't help. There is no disc burning per se under system profile...but I assume this is what you mean...the ata stats: ATA-6 Bus: Vendor ID: 0x106b...

Hi, here's my problem: idvd has suddenly stopped recognizing my internal superdrive. In the past, I was able to burn DVDs from idvd no problem. For no apparent reason idvd now always gives me the message, "please insert a blank dvd_R.' When I do so I get the message again... and again...

Wow. No kidding? That's a bit scary from an environmental point of view. I had no idea. So...good I got two then. Thanks.

Thanks. I bought 2 830s. I'm just trying to calculate with reasonable accuracy what I can connect to each UPS. Besides the G5 I have a PC with a 350 watt power supply and an external drive or two that would get priority. It would be good to know fairly precisely what the G5 uses so I can...

Hi, I just purchased a battery backup for my computers and peripherals. How many watts does my G5 dual 2 consume with 2 internal drives? Thanks for any help, Rob

thanks Mikuro...glad to understand exactly what the issue is that has been frustrating me!

Thanks Jeff. I'll give it a try. Appreciate it.

Jeff, thanks so much. I just checked and the internal drive is Mac OS Extended, while the external one is Mac OS Standard. Does the discrepancy still explain my problem?

Hi, I have a recurring problem in system 10: I cannot successfully archive finished projects (by copying to an external drive) if a folder contains a file name that is too long. Is there a workaround for this; otherwise, what does one do? Thanks, Rob
