I have been testing various CDr and DVDr media and posted an extensive amount of info on this post in the iMac G5 discussion (even though my drive is in a MacMini)My post discusses the attitude of this drive and goes to good lengths to point to some useful resources online help you solve problems with this drive.

If it's the PMU reset procedure and you have a G4 mini, it is done thusly: Part of the PMU reset procedure which applies to G4 minis, but can cause Intel minis to run the fan up to full speed constantly if done to them. What about the holding the power button while plugging it in trick? This mac is currently under apple protection plan but I don't wan to use that unless its really broken. I also cannot find any email address for apple support.
