Mac won't burn CDs

[iwannadie]

What software are you using? I've always had success with Toast and Verbatim discs. Never had a bad burn or anything in 3 years

Toast is awesome and what I always use, I also use Taiyo Yuden media. You can get them cheap at supermediastore.com. If you read up, there's only a few companies that actually manufacture the media, then it's all just rebranded and sold under different names. Verbatim used to be my top pick back when cd-rs first came around though(back when $10 a disc was a deal).

for reals.


seriously though I run a totally not geeky version of Linux. Mint 10.

When I get home I don't want to mess with things, it works, it's simple enough that I can hand my computer to someone and they can use it, avoiding questions and it runs all the debian software. I like it better than Ubuntu, they just got too busy with the interface and stuff and it was like an oompa loompa had sex with the gui and that was the result.

I leave real Linux stuff at work.

Mint's nice. I'm running it as my VM distro for when I need a desktop/testbed Linux installtion to run <insert software here>.

And it supports the VMWare tools very nicely. It was surprisingly hard to find a lightweight distro that did.

Bingo.

What's the verdict? Did he get his machine fixed or not?

Not yet. Haven't had the time to do anything to it.

Buy a pc, problem solved

Try a different brand disc. Try a different format disk + or -. Reinstall drivers. Buy a new drive.

Ya should have kept the gun and shot the Mac and went and bought yourself a nice PC that is more cost effective to run rather than an expensive POS.:laugh2:
