I've been using the CD writer drive that came with my HP pc for a couple of years to write CD-R disks with no problems. It's a TEAC unit according to scanbus, i.e.
0,0,0 0) 'TEAC ' 'CD-W54E ' '1.1C' Removable CD-ROM Now I'm trying to use the few CD-RW disks (TDK 4x to 10x capable) which came with the computer, and I'm getting errors. 'cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 isofs' (made with mkisofs) produces: cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk! No joy with ... blank .... or ... blank --force ... either. Same results with 3 never-used CD_RW blanks (never used) Does anyone have a clue? -- Collins Richey - Denver Area gentoo 1.4 system _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
