Hi. I erased my dvd-rw (maxell, ver 1.1, bundled with the dvd burner):
$ dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/scd0 * DVD±RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.7. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * blanking | $ I ejected and inserted the media back (just to make sure), then: $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/scd0 INQUIRY: [HL-DT-ST][DVDRAM GMA-4020B][A105] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 14h, DVD-RW Sequential READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0eh]: MediaID: MCC 00RW11N9 Current Write Speed: 1.0x1385=1385KB/s Write Speed #0: 1.0x1385=1385KB/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 32h, DVD-RW book [revision 2] Legacy lead-out at: 2298481*2KB=4707289088 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: invisible incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2297888*2KB Track Size: 2297888*2KB Again, I ejected and inserted the media back, then: $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=dvd.iso Executing 'builtin_dd if=dvd.iso of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/scd0: "Current Write Speed" is 1.0x1385KBps. :-[ LBA=0h, SENSE KEY=5h/ASC=30h/ASCQ=05h ] :-[ media is not formatted or unsupported ] :-( write failed: Input/output error $ I tried without dvd-compat and got the same error. So in this second attempt I added it to see if I could do it. Is this possible? Could it be the media, even being able to blank it successfully? As I told before, it is a maxell, bundled with the burner. Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards, djaba Yahoo!
