I have a Quicksilver 867 G4 with a Pioneer CD-RW/DVD-RW 103 in it. I have Buffer Underrun when I burn DVD's, but Toast has greyed out the option for CD-R's. Anyone know what can cause this? thanks a lot, i really need to fix this...

Simple: that drive doesn't do buffer underrun protection on CDs, which isn't surprising since it doesn't write CDs all that fast, and every Mac that shipped with that drive is more than fast enough to keep that drive fed with data.
