[Mac-Forums.com] iMac G5 Superdrive problem: Bought an iMac g5 brand new two years ago, had to change the superdrive (it's a matshita, not a pioneer) exactly a year ago, got a new superdrive (also matshita) that is again failing. Burns an audio CD when ever it pleases, got most of the time 'medium error, the peripherial power calibration area error (0x8002006D) or (burn failed - write error) (0x8002006E).

[Mac Owners Support Group] Hard Drives - Optical Drives - Storage Devices - Storage Media ...: I know this topic has been discussed before but I seem to be having trouble burning to DVD media with the Matshita DVD-R UJ 845 drive on my imac G5. I have burned successfully to Think Xtra DVD+RW DVDs but only if the DVD is new, the driver will not let me overwrite a DVD that already has something on it, although the media should be re-writable.

[MacNN Forums] iMac G5 SuperDrive rejects all disks (CD/DVD): I used the Install disk to restart the iMac while holding the Option Key. The iMac did start and arrived at a blueish screen with just the iMac HD icon in the middle (X beside it), a 'rotation arrow' icon on the left and a straight arrow (continue?) to the right.

[Graham Perrin: fuzzy brained geek] I/O error -36: It includes discussion of bugs in Apple firmware for DVD drives, but concludes with a simple observation that the user may have been using dual-layer media that was not supported by the drive.
[adinoto's blog] PowerBook SuperDrive Workaround (from Apple): So for those of you who own UJ-835E (PowerBook G4 (12 -inch 1.5GHz), PowerBook G4 (15-inch 1.33GHz, 1.5GHz, or 1.67GHz), PowerBook G4 (17-inch 1.67GHz), iMac G5 (17-inch 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz), iMac G5 (20-inch 1.8GHz), Mac mini G4 I should say that you might want to update your SuperDrive firmware. Do it with caution as instructed, and it requires Mac OS X 10.4.6
