IMac G3 600MHz, OS 10.3.9, CD-RW drive only--no DVD capacity
I'm trying to burn photos to CD-R with Finder Burning. Just after the drive begins writing, a message appears saying the burn failed and the CD cannot be used: error code 0x80020022 "Communication with the disc drive failed."
This would seem not to be a hardware problem, because I CAN successfully burn a disc from iPhoto, but that mixes up the file organization when reading the disc with other applications or Windows machines. I was even able to burn a CD that Finder said couldn't be used.
Here's what I've tried so far, without success:
1. Lowered the burn speed.
2. Two different CD brands, Memorex and TDK.
3. Repaired permissions with Disk Utilities. (I didn't use the startup CD, which is 10.3.5.)
4. Started in OS 9 and tried to burn with Finder. Again, the operation quit soon after the drive began spinning. Error 7932 "There was a problem with the target device."
I'm fairly new to OS 10, and like to use computers more than work on them. Any suggestions are appreciated.
