Simple question first. Do you have the 1.0.3 persuasion of Popcorn? A video_ts drive error? That folder is on your HD. You may have a problem with that puppy. Have you checked it out with (minimally) Disk Utility or (much better) TechToolPro or Disk Warrior? As far as "other errors" I fear...

It seems you're in luck, Serene. There is an app that'll flash your A04 (104) drive here: http://lasvegas.rpc1.org/ It's near the bottom of the page (DVRFlashX Apple 104). Just launch it once you've downloaded it. It very well might let you use DVD-Rs with X-ness greater than 2. Check...

My wife's G4/400 (700 meg and change) runs nicely on 10.3.9, which is probably the most stable of the OSX flavors.

Serene, those 1-8X discs are problematic. I'd guess you're using an older superdrive that really, really wants a 1-X or 2-X disc. Hard to find these days. You need to tell us exactly what drive you have with what firmware version. Look in System Profiler. You may be able to "flash" the...

I suspect it *is* a hardware problem, Sylvia. Discs are hardware. You might wish to go to videohelp.com, find the 106 in the DVD Writer tab on the left of the home page, and see what flavor disks the 106 is happy with. And at what burn speed. What is the exact brand and type of disc that...

Try a CD/DVD lens cleaner. Cheap.

Acsi, about all you can do is try a CD/DVD lens cleaner. If that doesn't do the trick, replace the drive. Probably cheaper and more useful than taking it "to the shop." OWC (macsales.com) sells a Pioneer 110 super drive for $53. Their support section also has a video showing you how to install...

Sorry, no RPC1 for the 845.

WinFSCleanser 2.1 (versiontracker.com) is well thought of.

You might run this after copying to the card: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/26028

How are you trying to do that? Not much info in your msg. Can you choose another volume in your Startup Disk prefpane? Does that work?

Do I gather that SilverLining Lite didn't do it, Mark? As I said, you'll need to find FWB's CDROM Toolkit somewhere, possibly eBay or low-end Mac. However, if you have or can get an OS9 version of Toast, it'll probably see the drive just fine. The only reason you need the Toolkit is to see...

Classic doesn't come with the retail vrsions of Panther or Tiger. It must be added from the "restore" disc(s) that came with your machine.

I think you need Classic's System Folder and Applications OS9 folders in the HD root directory, not in its Applications folder. I *know* your HD must have OS9 drivers installed. Launch Disk Util, click on your HD to hi-lite it, then click the blue Info button. If the entry for Mac OS9 Drivers...

How to install? Just drag your OS9 System Folder (the one with Folder in the name) and Applications OS9 folder to the external. Tell the Classic prefpane where to look.

Depending on the age of that superdrive, you may not be able to burn anything with a higher X-ness than it's rated for. Get the manufacturer and model number from System Profiler, then go to videohelp.com (DVD Writer tab) and enter the info. It'll tell you what it works with. And yup. +R is...

First steal a chicken -- no, different recipe. First get a copy of TinkerTool freeware (not TinkerTool System). Use it to show invisibles (view hidden). Look inside your Software Restore disc 1. Inside ".images" in an "OS9General" package. Double-click it. Works for me.

You're not going to add to a disc created on a peecee. Disk Utility should allow you to erase a CD-RW.

Download the optical drive installation video from OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html It'll show you how to get the front panel off.
