Enable features on some PowerBook G4 SuperDrives
Authored by: saudio on Sep 14, '03 12:04:08PM

!!!!! BIG PROBLEM !!!!!

I had been running this for a while on my GHz TiBook without any problems, until I decided to backup my drive, re-format and re-partition. The built-in DVD-R will NOT recognize ANY APPLE OS DISK for booting. This includes OS9, OSX, even the disk that came with AppleCare and TechTool Deluxe. Running the Apple Hardware Test shows that everything is OK, but it's not necessarily checking the DVD-R.

I was able to use my wife's iBook as a Firewire drive ('T' upon boot) and run the DOWNGRADE patch, but nothing changed.

I AM HOSED, unless I can grab a Firewire DVD-R to re-install OSX. Anyone else feel like trying this? Just try booting from the Jaguar disk!

Thanks.
