| Pismo DVD-ROM/CD-R/RW drive recognition problem |

Go to the website http://www.patchburn.de and they have the needed software to "patch" the drive to be recognized under Mac OSX.

I have the same problem when I installed a non Apple combo drive. It is recognized as a Panasonic DVD-ROM but it states Quanta DVD/CDRW on the label. Patchburn did not work for me. Are there any other options?

Get a copy of Toast and see if that uses the drive correctly.
