SATA DVD Drive

I recently purchased a SATA DVD drive and I am trying to burn an audio cd but it keeps on giving me errors. I tried through iTunes and Toast but it just doesn't burn. I even tried to burn data cd but that gave me error too.

Is there something I have to do to get the SATA drive to work in Leopard? I assumed that because it had picked it up when I installed it, it would just work.

I have installed Leopard using Zephyroth's 10.5.2 dvd.

My specs:

DFI NF4 LanParty Motherboard
AMD X2 4200+
1GB RAM
NVidia Geforce 8600 GTS 512MB

I tried burning audio cd with my IDE drive and it worked just fine.

SATA DVD writers seem to have that problem with nforce4 chipset at least mine did

Were you able to fix it though? As I read more about it, it shows that they indeed cannot write as of now. I can't use an IDE drive because one of my IDE slot on the motherboard is not working. So putting my hard drive and dvd drive as primary and slave slows down the system a lot.

Sorry my only solution was buy an ide one, or do without writing capability, you could always write cds/dvds through vmware?

SATA DVD Driver should be supported in the upcoming release.

Do you mean that it will be possible to write using SATA DVD drives? Because right now I am able to read from it just fine. Only burning doesn't work.
