I purchased a BTC brand Combo drive cdrw/dvd-rom and installed it in my G4 tower. The OS recognizes that the drive is a burner but says that burning is not enabled in the system profiler. If anyone knows how to enable this feature I would appreciate the help.
Thank you

Hello,
My guess is that the OS recognizes your unit as a read-only device, and that at the OS level, it doesn't want to enable writing. The system Profiler is a pure read tool... it will not make settings changes for you.
I purchased a Sony CD-DVD RW external USB / Firewire device, and OS X will allow me to read DVD's, and write CD-R's at the finder level, but I need to use Toast in order to do DVD-R or DVD-RW with it.
My guess is that you will need to get Toast in order to have this work properly.
