What the heck is Error Code 49512????

[StrangeFruit]

I can't get my iMac to accept CD-Rs. Instead, it spins the disk around a few times and then spits it back out with an error message -- error code 49512. What the heck is that???

Are you running OS X or OS 9?

If you have both installed does the same problem exist in both operating systems?

do you even have a CD writing drive?

I have OSX -- and yes, the same problem exists in OS9. I DO have a CD burner and so far, it's worked excellently.
