new ibook issue
14" ibook purchased in sep 2004 from frys
never tried to burn a cd till today.
tried one & found out the cd is a cdr only
not a cdrw...
i thought all ibooks were combo drives aka cdrw ?
this puppy cost over 1400$.......
whats my recourse on this ?
the sales reciept & box clearly shows it having a combo drive
while the sys profiler shows it as a cd only

no mercy, no emotions. plain violence.
& kept gettiing illegal command
a quick look at sys profiler showed the ata device as a plain
cd no cdr or cdrw capabilties
btw how long is the applecare on a new product ?
no i didnt purchase additional applecare
& a bunch of my unix tricks
& in the sys profiler it shows the device as
CD-RW/DVD-ROM & right below that
Disc burning not supported........
this is nuts....ill do a reinstall on wed & if that doesnt resolve the
issue then ill call apple support.
thanks for all the help guys

????
didnt know there was a cd+r for cds
perhaps you're thinking of the dvd standards.
its a regular blank cd that didnt work in the ibook
& that i wound up burning
5 min later on my powerbook
