Dunno what mechanism we're talking about, here, but the Toshiba SD-R2002
combo-drive in my 600 MHz iBook is specced by the manufactured to read
DVD-R's, but now DVD-RW's. Maybe that's the problem?

Anyway, look up your drive's manufacturer and model in the Apple System
Profiler, then look for specs on the manufacturer's web site, and see if
there's any caveats that could cause this problem.
