Chickenhead Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 I have a SmartDisc CD writer -- model FWCDRW-V8. It worked fine for moths and I have been using it to backup my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) onto CD-RW, using OS 9.1 and Retrospect 5.0.205. However, I have recently started getting an error: "content unrecognised". Sometimes the drive says the disc is unreadable and offers to format it. I have no problems using the drive to burn CDs using Toast. I have checked my system folder, and I have not installed any new extensions or control panels that might be causing a conflict. Nor have I installed any new hardware. Can anyone suggest a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 This drive is not currently supported by Retrospect. For a list of currently supported drives, please see the Hardware Search Engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenhead Posted February 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Has support been withdrawn? The drive wasn't supported when I bought it, but then after a subsequent driver update it WAS supported. In fact, I had to upgrade to Retrospect 5 from an earlier version in order to use the driver update. What's happened here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenhead Posted February 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I just removed driver update 3.0.104, and instead used 2.9.102, and the drive worked fine. Has support for the drive been REMOVED in 3.0.104? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 While in Retrospect, go to Configure > Devices > Device Status and list the Version number listed for this drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
