10.4: A fix for a 'SuperDrive not supported' error

Tiger only hintWhile trying to burn my first DVD-R with a new SuperDrive, I got following error message:

The disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported. (Error code 0×80020025)
The SuperDrive is OK, as is the DVD-R. The solution to this problem was to reset PRAM during a boot -- hold down Command-Option-P-R during restart, and wait for the machine to restart again.

After that, all was fine.

[robg adds: I've seen this error a couple of times myself since upgrading to 10.4. For me, a simple restart got the drive back. I haven't seen the problem recur under 10.4.2, so perhaps it's been squashed...]
