I am having real problems trying to burn a CD-R. No matter what program I use, or what account I am under (i.e. root, or other users). When I try to either copy a CD, or make a DATA CD, 5 Megs into it I get a failure, medium error. I can burn a CD-RW with no problems though. I find it hard to believe that I am getting the bad one of the stack in Linux, when win will burn every CD correctly, instead of a coaster. Here is the output of cdrecord on one try. I think I was using Xcdroast here. pregap1: -1 Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 2.1.39 Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'SONY ' Identifikation : 'CD-RW CRX100E ' Revision : '1.0j' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.

Fixating time: 0.004s Any help would be appreciated since I only use windows right now for scanning since I can not find support for my parallel scanner. Not a big issue right now either since I put the scanner on my gf's machine. I can burn a CD-RW with any program I wish to use. System is PII-450 128M RAM Sony CRX-100E internal IDE KDE2 as my environment I have tried to copy both a previously burned cd, and an original manufactured CD. When I burn a CD, that is all I do, I don't try to run other apps nor do I surf. So I have ruled out CPU process problems. HELP!!! Brian D. Klar - CVE OTS WPAFB (937)257-5773 937-973-3125 (Pager)
