>From reading that, I think that you did not unmount the media, before that. Am I correct? If so, that does not work for me. I have tried this, logged in as a regular user and also logged in as root.

I am going to try to do that and see what happens. > I agree with Kay that this implies that the drive is mounted. You MUST make > sure that it isn't before using k3b. OK.
