Without knowing about the drive and the media, it is hard to say something useful. Usually the cdrecord -v output includes the inquiry data and you may get the media type information with cdrecord -atip. The current state of the media is pronted via cdrecord -minfo > cdrecord version: 2.01.01a16 This is a very old version ( > 6 months). Check for a recent version ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ although this is not related to your problem. > There are two bunches of output below.
