Continued Error Messages

[Tazmone]

I have been trying to burn a DVD-R with data with no luck. The error messages I have been receiving are:

Sense Key = Hardware Error

Sense Code = 0x44

Internal Target Failure

 

then the next error straight after the first:

 

Sense Key = Medium Error

Sense Code = 0x11, 0x05

L-EC Unrecoverable Error

 

then after pressing ok the following error

 

sense key = Illegal Request

Sense code = 0x21, 0x02

Buffer Underrun

 

then when I tried again:

 

sense key = Blank Check

Sense code = 0x00

No additional sense info

 

then when I pressed ok

 

sense key = Illegal Request

Sense code = 0x21, 0x02

Buffer Underrun

 

I have a Power Mac G5 with PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D

I have Toast 7.1.2

 

It burns fine on CD-R/CD+R/DVD+R but does not want to work with DVD-R (all Imation)

 

When I burn using the finder and not Toast it burns but then when I try re mount the DVD after burning and ejecting, it will not mount. It automaticall just ejects the DVD. Which I find odd as after burning it mounts but when I eject the disk and insert it again it will not mount.

 

Do yo have any idea what the problemmis please??

I'm not sure what the problem is but the first thing I'd try is a different brand of media. Try Verbatim media.

 

Your drive is an older model and there should be firmware updates available. Has Apple posted a firmware update (if this is an Apple-supplied Superdrive)? You also can go to www.xlr8yourmac.com and choose the F.A.Q. There you'll see a link to DVD and from there one to Pioneer drives. That may help you locate a way to update the firmware on a Mac.
