Hello Debian people: I'm trying to blank my DVD+RW media with the command:
C:\dvdtt>growisofs -Z e:=/dev/zero This process proceeds as expected until it ends with the error: -[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with SK=5h/ASC=21h/ACQ=02h]: One or more arguments re not correct. As might note from the form of the command, I am running this under Windows (XP SP2). I've come to this maillist because the author of the page C:\dvdtt\Blu-ray Disc-DVD+RW-+R--R[W] for Linux.htm said this was the place for these questions. I've received the exact same termination error on two different DVD+RW media. The session output is below. If this is not the place to post this message, please let me know. And thank you in advance for any help. -- Roy Zider growisofs.exe 29-Jan-2006 mkisofs.exe 03-Jul-2006 Pioneer DVR-111C 1.06 3:17 PM 7/4/2007 lsz Got to blank, but failed at the end, according to message below: ................................................................
