hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 FAT: unable to read boot sector ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: OT: CD-ROM problems Date: Wednesday 31 December 2003 20:02 From: Jason Stubbs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, I have a SONY CD-RW/DVD-ROM CRX810E drive that seems to be malfunctioning. I can read DVDs and, er, 'bought' CDs without problems. I can even write CDs which can be read with no problems on other machines. However, I can't read CDs that have been burnt (before or after this problem started) with this cdrom or that have been burnt by other machines. mount gives me: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type I have tried different kernels and using a lens cleaner. I even tried using FreeBSD which could read a burnt CD approx. 1 time in 20 attempts. Any ideas on what could have caused this? Any ideas on ways to fix it? Notebook peripherals aren't quite so cheap... -- Regards, Jason Stubbs ------------------------------------------------------- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
