Well i was not able to burn, copy or write to CD´s and i was losing Cd´s one after one.! There were many configuration options that i had to test to see which one would work for me.
For writing to a CD from hard drive: it turned out that i had to switch from DAO mode to TAO mode. It then worked. For burning on the fly even though i had done SCSI emulation for my dvd-rom following the instructions i had got from this mailing list but still no success. It turned out that i need to pass some commands to cdrdao to have it use special drivers for the specific cd writer and dvd rom that i have. Looking at the file /usr/share/cdrdao/drivers which gives the list of drivers for various cd writers and roms, i found out what drivers cdrdao needs to use. Then i created a file .cdrdao in my home directory and wrote these lines in the file: write_device: "1,0,0" write_driver: "generic-mmc-raw" read_device: "1,1,0" read_driver: "generic-mmc". Now i am able to burn on the fly directly from cd to cd. -- Ramin M Linux user #310496
