[G4] Re: DVR-108 question

[Rav Norodom]

I had my DVD-RW DVR-108 installed in my QuickSilver lately. There is a 
few steps needed to take before it works fully. What I mean fully is 
that iTunes and all other iApps and System Profiler will not 
recognizing it yet. Only Toast sees it.

Step 1. Download PatchBurn II:

Step 2. Launch PatchBurn II, it detects your new DVD drive and will ask 
you to install a driver that it has in its list. (If you have other PC 
based DVD drive that won't work on Mac, PatchBurn II can fix you up.)

Step 3. Restart your Mac.

Step 4. If you use iTunes, launch iTunes and to go Preferences ---> 
Burning ---->CD Burner, under pop down menu select the new driver 
(Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-108).

You are done.
