Can't find a CD/DVD drive to fit a MDD, help!!!

Alrighty here is the deal, I picked up Pioneer DVR-111D recently and ran in to a small problem. The new burner didn't fit in to my MAC.
So as the very knowledgeable MAC people out there I need some help. I want to find a new combo CD/DVD Combo drive that does everything and more that my old Superdrive did. Does anyone know of any good drives that meet what I'm looking for, and actually fit in the MDD.
Again thank you all for reading this and answering my questions.
Power Mac G4 MDD   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

I hope that you didn't return that Pioneer DVR-111D as it is one of the best available DVD burner upgrades for a MDD G4. You do have to remove the plastic faceplate on the tray to allow it to function properly, but that is an easy fix. Use a paper clip to release the tray from the case and then carefully pry off the tray faceplate from the bottom up. After that, the DVR-111D should work fit and work just fine. I installed one in my MDD G4 last week without any problems.

  • Can we find my cd/dvd drive ?

    This seems to be a common problem but many folks have small differences.
    I have a dv6646us  upgraded from Vista  to a retail version of 7  a few months ago.
    I just noticed a month ago that the cd/dvd drive is gone.  I dont know if it was because of 7 or something else that happened.
    I've tried all the microsoft fixes..(removing upper and lower filters etc.) 
    no itunes but I do have norton antivirus
    device manager does not show the drive at all
    on start up - F10
    in boot order
    I see  CD/DVD ROM Drive listed..so does that mean that Bios is seeing it ?  I dont know what a bios is...
    any help is appreciated.. I cant afford a new laptop.

    I have the same issue (dv9810us, vista), and have pretty much given up trying to find a solution after trying the numerous tips and fixes found here, at microsoft, and all around the web.  I performed a system recovery today; everything went fine, but the dvd/cd player was still not there.  Tomorrow I will go buy an external dvd writer, and when this computer finally dies, my next notebook will probably be a toshiba.
    If you go the external dvd route, the usb only drives are less expensive, usually, but they are also slower than drives with power adapters.
    Good luck

  • Satellite A205 S4797 - can not find drivers for my drive

    I have recovery disks and Windows Vista installation disk. When I try to install error meesage says it can not find drivers for my drive.
    I tried scannong CD drive and it cannot find them do 32-bit, 64-bit all have different drivers and if so where do I get the one I need if not from the install disk or recovery disk from manuf.?

    If you cannot use original Toshiba recovery DVD for OS installation I can imagine there is some problem with DVD itself (some missing file or scratch) but Microsoft Vista installation MUST work on this notebook model.
    If this doesnt work too there must be some problem with HDD. Just if you want to install WXP you need to load SATA driver at start-up but Vista must work.
    Can you please tell me what happen when you try to install Vista from Microsoft Vista installations DVD?

    it feels like something in the upper right hand corner is blocking the entry.
    Appears your optical drive is "broke" = hardware issue.

  • Loops working but can't find them on Hard Drive

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I installed some 3rd party loops that work great in GarageBand but I can't seem to locate them on the hard drive.
    I've looked in the folders that have most of the loops stored in them but they are not there.
    Any suggestions where they could be stored? In Garageband itself it seems these files are in a "My Loops" folder which I can't find on my Hard Drive either.

    Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
    1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
    2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
    3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
    4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
    5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
    PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
    - do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
    - Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.
