I have my main (largest and fastest) drive (the one I have Linux on and burn
from) set as a primary master. I have a smaller and older (but reliable)
drive that contains my Swap partition and a Windows 2000 NTFS partition
(unusable by Linux) on as the secondary master. My CD-ROM is the secondary
master, and the Iomega burner is secondary slave. This configuration was the
recommendation of many Linux publications (including, I think, the
CD-Recording HOWTO), as it puts the burner on a different IDE channel from
the source media (either the CD-ROM drive or the main HDD). I was not using
the computer during the burning process, and the CD-ROM drive was empty. I
was burning as root (I haven't set it up to work as a user yet).
It seems odd that I can burn with no problems from Nero 5 in Windows 2000 and
I can't burn from cdrecord. Any more ideas, please?
