Re: Panther cd-r burning

DVD burners can also burn CDs, so barring a hardware problem, your
setup should do fine.

When you first insert a blank disk, do you get a message asking if you
want to initialize the disk? If not, look under System
Preferences...CDs & DVDs, and make sure that the action you desire is
selected under "When you insert a blank CD". Either "Open Finder" or
"Ask what to do" will work for your case.
