I bought a refurbished DP 450 from Small Dog about 2 years ago. I sold it to my son to get my current machine. It is working beautifully with no problems whatsoever. A very good experience, I must say.:cool:

Then I would suggest that you use the Apple Disk Copy (in Applications - Utilities) to create your disk copy. Toast disc copies are only useable in Toast AFAIK.:cool:

Do you want to burn them in Toast to disc? If so, go to "Other" in the Toast menu and select "Disc Image".

I have a similar problem but with a FW DVD+RW/+R drive which loses it's connection with my computer every now and then. To get it recognized by the system I have to switch both the computer and the drive off, then do a restart. It seems as if there is something in the system probing the drive as...

I currently have a DVD+RW Ikebana drive with a Ricoh MP5125A inside which I use mainly to read DVD's I make on a Philips DVD Recorder. I copy my work to the HD and then burn it to the cheaper DVD-R discs with my Superdrive with Toast. I would advise that you go with a DVD-R drive instead of the...

There is also Discribe, another CD/DVD burning program from Charismac.:cool:

I use Toast Titanium almost exclusively now. Very satisfied with it.:p :cool:

A good place to get software is at www.versiontracker.com, from commercial to freeware. Look at the descriptions and see if any interest you.

For your Mac, get Toast Titanium (now at V 5.2) which will work with most external DVD burners. OWC (www.macsales.com) has the Pioneer 104 in a Firewire case. I have an Ikebana branded Ricoh MP5125A FW external DVD+RW/+R drive which works fine with Toast along with my internal Superdrive.:cool:

I don't use iTunes to burn CD's (I use Toast) but I believe that you have to transfer the CD to iTunes and then burn from iTunes.:cool:

A new version of CCC is now available on Version Tracker.:)

To get around this, I made a clone of my 10.1.5 disk to an external disk, then booted from the external in 10.1.5 and used CCC to make a clone of 10.2 to a different external disk. Worked fine.:cool:

I am using V 1.3.1 which worked fine under 10.1.5. :cool:

It seems as if CCC is broken under 10.2. I upgraded my computer yesterday and this morning tried to clone my startup disk. CCC crashed 3 times without being able to do the clone. Anyone else had this experience?:confused:

http://www.piranhatech.com/index.asp Go to this site. I recently bought a 120gb drive from them at a very good price. They usually advertise specials on Dealmac.com ( that is where I saw the special price on the drive). :cool:

You cannot backup/copy a commercial DVD Movie. Apple would be sued by the studios if the software that came with the computer would allow this.;)

Carbon Copy Cloner works quite well. I use it weekly to ack up my HD to an external FW drive, boot from the FW drive to run TTPro, Drive 10 and Disk Warrior from it to repair/maintain my internal drive. I recommend it wholeheartedly.:D

I heartily endorse what themacko says. Stick with the OWC 7200rpm drive. You pay extra for quality.:p

On my previous machine, a DP450 G4, I had this problem. With my current machine, no problems whatsoever (see attached profile).:D
