Hi, I'm having incredible difficulty with my PB 667 Rev B with Matshita CW-8121 combodrive. When I try to burn on high-end cdrs (free at work), specifically Maxell CDR Pro 700 & TDK 700, on iTunes or Roxio Toast 5.1.2, I almost always get coasters.

I get the following error on iTunes:

CD burning failed because an unknown error occurred
(-2147352480)

Roxio Toast Titanium 5.1.2 gives the following, always:

The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03

Finder sometimes completes the burn, but when it fails, returns:

Unknown error (-6)

I haven't tried cheap media yet, since I get free high-end ones at work. Has Apple brought this issue up at all?

Have people who previously posted their problems resolved this issue by sticking to 650mb "cheap" disks?

Thanks,

Anthony

I have that exact machine and I use Memorex media (it works in both my Ti 667 DVI and my 'ol beige G3's Yamaha 2100E.
