otherwise you get a coaster.

tuneup the system > reboot > turn off all unnecessary apps (and screensaver/power management settings/antivirus software) > burn
if you still get coasters..you need a new computer/give up.
That is what I'm saying....just because I was drunk when I wrote that doesn't mean I was kidding......I'm in the same boat. Sometimes it works sometimes it dont. Looks like I'll get anothershot at it tonight with schome's zero DVD. I'll make sure I reboot the old G4 emac and make sure no other apps are running while burning........
