Can't "Disc Copy" from internal CD drive to LaCie firewire

[Wick]

I'm trying to make a duplicate of an audio CD (not write protected - it's a cd I created, but this is true of all audio CDs) from my internal drive, to be burned on my LaCie DVD/CD burner. I'm using Mac OS 10.4.10 and I have a dual G5 tower. The internal drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-107D Revision A707 ATAPI. I have no problem burning CDs from Toast Titanium 8.0.1 (137), but when I select Disc Copy, it starts the process and then delivers the following error:

 

The drive reported an error:

Sense Key = HARDWARE ERROR

Sense Code = 0x08, 0x03

LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION FAILURE

 

I don't think it's the media because I have NO problem burning CDs from Toast, just when it's a disc copy. The internal drive seems to work fine in terms of playing and burning. Is this a Toast glitch? If so, is there a workaround? A fix? Is there a way to make an exact copy in OS X just from the operating system?

 

Thanks a lot!

Did you try to go from Lacie to Pioneer?

I just tested this with an audio CD in my G5 iMac's internal Matshita drive and my external Firewire LaCie drive. The copy function worked fine. I chose 8X maximum speed because that's the slowest that my Sony CD-R media supports in the LaCie drive. Now I need to figure what to do with two copies of Boney James' "Shine."

Thanks for your feedback. Today, I was having trouble burning a DVD to that drive with the data coming from an external La Cie firewire hard drive. I was eventually able to do it at 4x. At 8x it gave me that error again. I just tried something else - instead of connecting my DVD R/CD R drive through firewire, I plugged it into my USB 2.0 port and made a copy of an audio CD and that worked great. I don't know what speed it was burning at b/c I selected "Best" and it worked great. I wonder if the Firewire was just over-taxed. I have a bunch of drives that were kind of daisy-chained, but when I was making a copy of the mucic CD, that was from my internal drive, not an external firewire... Anyway, it seems to be working now. Thanks for your thoughts!
