Hello z, Thanks for this, I can't say I'm technically experienced enough to have even imagined that if the drive may be on its way out that it would still write in some formats bu…

My thoughts on posts like these are the same as a few people have mentioned. Essentially, don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. In my years on this board, which are (wi…

Hey thanks, Christopher. Using the OS' built-in burning feature was indeed my first suggestion in order to try to distinguish the issue between hardware and software, - and will be…

Do you have to use Toast? It could just be having a software hiccup, try using the Finder's burning feature or Disk Utility. For shits and giggles, try repairing permissions. After…

Greetings, Wondering if anyone has experienced this, something similar, or any thoughts on the cause or a solution. At my wife's office, on an iMac G4, using Toast Titanium, the o…
