Could you provide the exact model of the burner? Also, what exactly does the Apple System Profiler say about the drive? For example, in my MacBook I have a internal combo drive. In System Profiler, it shows up under Hardware->Disc burning. It then says the following info about the drive:

MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8221:

Firmware Revision: GA0H
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: No

Yours should say something similar.

Yes, the jump to OS X is a big one, especially if you've never even used OS 9. I hope you like OS X's added features and stability, and catch on quickly to the new interface ;).
