My mini core duo (not 2 duo) just regular duo bought back in 2007 with 106.4 installed right now is acting up. I got 1.66 and cd burner not dvd burner. Discs keep spitting out and I get medium write fail error when they don't spit out and I try to burn. So I used my external firewire drive instead. I never got any error. But this thing is slow as hell. Started last night about 9 oclock pm or so to burn 15 songs to an audio cd and right now I'm still on number 8. No errors so far but only 8 songs have burned. It will probably finish somoe tiime tonignt. But it is firewire 400 not 800 if that matters. Oh and I said 24x in itunes. It is a 16x dvd burner. But I think 16x is for dvd not cds. But still 24x shouldn't be to slow.
So either get a new drive or buy a new mini. But I really don't want to buy a whole new mini. So maybe a new dvd drive. But not sure if a new drive will help. Or maybe switch to usb 2.0 instead of firewire.
